Stanier 3P tank 40071- 40209 livery query

[philsandy]

Just built a Judith Edge etched kit of this loco and just finished applying the red/grey MT lining. Regarding twin red lining on the boiler bands, I have looked at many photos of this loco in BR livery (Railway Photography, excellent website), but none of them appear to have this, or on the cylinders either. Was red lining not applied to boiler bands and cylinders on this loco?

Looking through everything I have just over 1000 of the class, I cannot find any with boiler band lining. Of those with clean enough cylinders to be able to tell only one or two look like they 'might' have been lined, but it is not clear.
