In looking through early photos of the Class 56 consolidations on the D&RG, it is evident that details varied between engines. The most noticable details being Laird vs. Alligator crossheads, peaked vs. curved cab roofs, and two panel vs. four panel cab sides.

Is there any record of which locomotives were delivered with which? And what was the reason for the variances?
