Not quite, 31 215 lost its headcode box from one end but didn't have discs. Initially it had a vent on the roof dome similar to the original disc fitted locos but shortly after that disappeared and it had a unique plain roof dome

I've fished out a couple of shots of 37075 to illustrate the different noses...

37116 used to have the old school "skirt" at one end only right into the 1990's and I seem to remember this was due to some kind of cab repair / replacement.
Wrong. 116 retained skirts at both ends until a visit to Donny works saw it vandalised.
There were numerous 37s with different ends 006/019/065/072/075/100/102 OTTOMH.
