Not nit picking at you David, but a quick google of  NSW 42 class loco on the second line had several hundred images of NSW locos and the 42 class had several sizes, colours and placements over the years.

Which particular loco on which day do you think is wrong,
Not nit picking, just wondering.

What I saw of the photos and what I remember of my time on the job, very little 'standard practice' occurred on the NSWGR's.

Perhaps not.  The plates are all the same size, irrespective of the POTS (power other than steam) unit to which they were fitted.  From 11/1955 to 4/1983 on every 42 they were fitted in the same place.  4204, following its circa 2010 body overhaul and repaint, had its one fitted almost a full plate higher, centred on the three yellow stripes.  4204 is the only 42 Class Unit to have that plate fitted in a different location.
