Blue beacons and air horns instead of orange flashers and a manually operated fire bell!

I visited this storage facility once before these upgrades were made - there were too many of them there to count!

Did the HO do anything else to these goddesses? I know about the experimental Cummins diesel and the revised paintwork on a prototype, but were there any other changes apart from the turn signals, blue lights and horns?
