5x7 matrix theatre indicator characters

[Dagworth]

Can anyone help with a character map for 5x7 bulb type theatre displays? I need to know which lamps would be lit to produce the following characters: 1, 2, 3, 4, U, D, L, G, R and Y.

If it makes any difference this is for signals installed in 1984 as part of the Ipswich remodelling.

 

Thanks in advance

I thought I had a diagram showing the characters but I can’t find it (or may be it was only in the office), so this is done from memory of looking out of carriage windows etc.  

I’m confident in 1-4 U D and L and reasonably happy with R.  As you can see I’m less sure on G though I’m leaning towards the lower one.  Y I really don’t know as I don’t like either of the 7x5 so I’ve shown a 7x7 as well, though that would have been a different bit of kit to a 7x5.

The standard 5 x 7 matrix character set is shown here but some of the characters used in railway signalling were a bit different - although, given the different contractors involved in signalling work, I wonder if that was always the case.
