Maltby station signal box

[carlwebus]

I have two images showing the signal box at Maltby station on the South Yorkshire Joint Railway.

This was sited at the end of the down platform.

In one image (the long shot of the station)the 'box is plainly painted white or at least cream.

In the other, close up, image it is plainly dark red.

Can anyone explain this or give dating information on the change (and which came first)?

As one of the photos is captioned “new railway station”, highly likely that that came first. Is the station even open yet in that photo?

Also, the photos have that look of being artificially coloured after being taken in black and white
