I thought you might answer eventually.
1) XMB 15 - Correct
2) No, the answer is Finchley. FY changed over on two parts, one in 11/61, the other in 1/62.
3) Correct, Yes they were all fiited with saloon heaters (by the staff in their spare time).
4) There are two ways, there is a pipe cover running from the bonnet up to the upper saloon between the back of the cab emergency exit and the front lower saloon window. There are also two opening doors in the canopy panel, all had one where the horn is fitted, those with heaters have another to give access to the U/S heater box and pipework
