Coming late to this interesting construction, unfortunately.
Re ex TVR Coach; I agree that 0227, 0228 is most likely - TVR Diagram 54 built 1885.
However it is NOT the case that these were the only TVRs with duckets more central - the TVR diagrams 53 (tvr no 030 ) of 1884, diagram 6 (tvrno 242-248 ) of 1898,and diagram 9 (tvr 39 coaches) of 1886-1910 all had central duckets. As these diagrams were I understand produced to hand over to the GWR at the Amalgamation, there are likely to have been other coach numbers earler. Diagram 9 was a full brake - the others had compartments.
