IIRC, it was just 47 370 and 379, but I don't have my old ABCs with me at the moment and am therefore open to correction.

Those two had an earlier (1970s?) multiple system that allowed them to work in multi. Green circle was the system fitted by RfD and Freightliner to a much larger number of locos in the 1990s.

Looking at my 1999 Platform 5, it appears that most 47/0, 47/2 and 47/3 had Green Circle MU equipment. Too many to list!
