I thought that was just because they were travelling so fast the vehicle bodies hadn't caught up yet

Interesting comments !

I was informed that there is a small window "missing" between the two vertically divided windows at the front of the coach. There appears to be 2 pairs of "vents" ?, but only one window.

PS: I do have photoshop - but didn't move the bogies !

I think you have been Mis-informed.

The only thing I see wrong on the BCK^▸ (Brake Composite Corridor (carriage)), (offical tittle Corrider Brake Composite, don't ask me way it's not CBK), is as the Paint livery has a Yellow band above the 1st class comparments there should be a yellow "1" on the passenger door next to the Guards door.

The use of a telephoto lens does make things slightly unclear.
All MK^▸ (Milton Keynes) 1 doors with a Window were hinged on the Left Hand Side, whilst Double Doors always had a Solid door on the Right, and the Left Hand Door HAD to be opened before the Right hand door could be opened, so there was NO need for a drop light in the Right hand doors, which were only fitted in the "Cage" area anyway.

Even the Guards door was Left Hand hinged but as it opened inwards, it might appear to be a right hand door with a window.

The "Vents" are in Fact Door Hinges.

The BCKs No 21000-21275 were built to two Diagrams 171 (12 first/18 Second) and 172 (12 first/24 Second) and the fleet of 276 coaches were built for ONE coach working, in the days when express trains had detachments.

NB They had 2 toilets (1 First Class) not bad for 30/36 seats.
