Bulleid tender handrails - Info needed please

[Guest]

Afternoon all,

Eventually, I would like to model 34010 "Sidmouth" circa 1960 (Black nameplates, AWS plated over, circle TIA symbol), as and when funds and motivation permit. See here:

I've been looking at photos to assess the loco for potential donor models. My understanding is, that by rule of thumb, cut down tenders had the ladder handrails toward the outside of each side, as modelled by 34071:

However, 34010 appears to have the ladder handrails toward the inside:

As far as I can find, after digging through photo after photo, 34010 was the only light pacific to have the BR pattern ladder handrails on the inside.
I've had a look on the SEMG site, which shows 5500g tender No3335 (paired with 34010 from 1959 until withdrawal) was first paired with MN 35022 when new, due to its own 6000g  tender (No3345) not being ready at the time.

Is the positioning of the handrails a carry-over from its use with 35022? Or was there another reason for this anomaly? 

Thanks in advance

Any - unlikely - reason for a handrail change for MN use is unlikely to have survived all those years ........ this is probably just the one that (dis)proves the rule that it's safe to have handrails on the outside !
