The slipping of either "end" of a Garratt can probably be explained by diminishing supplies of coal and water i.e full coal/low water - the front will slip, low coal/full water - rear slips first and were both are low either end (don't recall both ends letting go at the same time. I've seen a video of a RR 15 leaving Thompson Junction with the front slipping at all times.
Exhausts going in and out of synchronisation can be explained by something as simple as the wheels on each units differing diameter.....
25NC's do have sanders.
