That's an additional point then as this was not included in your initial question ;-)
Here is what I found:THIS VHEICLE IS BELEIVED TO BE ONE OF THE FIRST METRO'S OFF THE PRODUCTION LINE.

IT WAS DELIVERED DIRECTLY TO THE ENGINEER, HE UNDERTOOK A MAJOR PROJECT TO MAKE IT WHAT IT IS TODAY..WHEN FINISHED IT WAS TESTED BY THE POLICE INSTRUCTION TEAM AND THEY WERE VERY COMPLIMENTRY ABOUT IT.

Well, a little bit of searching still to be done, as I think that the identification should include the builder or at least the customer/institution whom it was done for. It's easy to find.  ;)

Glad to see the Rookie section becoming relevant again...at least while Mogul is still a rookie, which won't last long I'm afraid !

Quite so - six points in five days is pretty good going.
