Does anyone know what the other side of this coach is like? It looks like it's been an Mk2 FO if I'm correct?

Yes, it was converted from an FO to be an RFB.

1256 is being converted to a Plain Line Pattern Recognition Vehicle (PLPRV) and should be in traffic soon.
Another window has been blanked opposite the blanks for RFB use and one of the RFB blanked windows has been altered to a "half" window
