Help needed to identifiy carriage at Avon Valley Bitton

[Nighthawke]

I hope this is ok to ask and post a photo. I am trying to identify the blood and custard carriage seen here at Bitton (Avon Valley Railway) on 9th August 2018. I didn't check at the time and cannot trace it via the internet. Not knowing of other sources to ask, I am hoping someone here can help please.

That looks to be ex BR Mk1 BSO 9208 - The end is of a BSO and there is no lining on the Carmine and Cream livery.

As said, this is indeed Mark 1 BSO 9208. Built BR Doncaster 1955 initially with 39 std class seats. Numbers carried were E9208 and DB977134. Was named 'Grace' in July 2000 and formed part of AVR's dining train formation.

Thanks gents for your help. I had somehow got 9208 assumed already as chocolate and cream and rued it out. Having returned to this after nearly two years I can now recheck photos, notes etc.

@DarloRich - Yes I have the site as one of my "goto" regulars as well as PRSL. Due to the change in paint scheme there was some confusion - now sorted so many thanks again.

I need to study more to be able to identify carriage types and colour names.
