I believe the wheelsets seen here are not actually its original ones! If you compare with the other photos of this coach (links below) they are definitely different and one of my correspondants noted this coach off its bogies shortly after arrival!

Those are not it's original bogies, they are either BT10's or BT15's used on MK3 coaching stock, all MK2 coaches ran on B4 bogies, as seen on the other photograph of this vehicle

Damage to the inner window bays caused by craneage off delivery lorry. B4 bogies lost at this point. This coach being held for spares sales so has been refitted with bogies to make mobile again. Fitting BT10's surprising though as EWS reclaiming ex Sleeper bogies from Booths.
