Saw unit recently at Waterloo, but centre car had no number on either side or inside in the vestibules. Should be 58728, but can anyone confirm, or has there been a swap?

I asked the same question a few years back when I saw the unit at Exeter. No-one confirmed 100% but since then I have seen all the other 159s and they all had their correct centre cars so logically although it's unnumbered it is 58728.

You can find the carriage numbers inside, between the overhead luggage racks and the walls.

This is from 57882 in 159010:

Certainly no numbers still on the Platform 2 side of the unit in the usual position but it does have it on the fuel tank.

Zoom in, it is there stamped in the panel
Found it, but it's not very clear. I can just about make out two 8s and a 7, but the other numbers are little more than scratches with no discernable form. Perhaps JPEG artifacts on the compressed file are causing this.

Are you looking at it on a phone?

I can get a good zoom in on a computer... here's a hopefully readable crop of it.
