LNER D.86/87 Van livery

Greetings,

 

I'm after a bit of help. I have a rather nice photograph of a D.86/87 LNER General Van at Brixham during the summer of 1950 taken from a very interesting article by Steve Banks

I've got a D&S kit for this prototype, which was obtained purely because of this photo. 

 

Looking at the livery, I suspect it is still in pre-nationalised scheme of LNER red oxide. However, I am no expert! Can anyone shed any additional details on the livery and lettering - that I have no idea about! Does anyone sell transfers for this type? 

 

Any assistance would be most useful! 

 

Regards,

Nick.

I think the lettering is on the door nearest the locomotive. It isn't clear but I suspect that is where it is.
