The red painted locker and cab are not original. This extra paint "arrived" after it left the brigade. Jennings bodywork

Thank you for this Norfolk posting Petros, this was indeed at Stalham and in service, only the front would have been red. It was on ebay a few years ago in a poor state, not known if it is still with us.

Its possible that the locker came off another machine that was sprayed red to replace the original one that might have become faulty. Somerset used to strip the lockers off some of their machines before they went for disposal to be used a replacements/spares.
