While banging my head against a wall yesterday I noticed a difference on a super voyager. The front end of 221108 had the unit number higher up on the side - it was visible above the platform. Iirc it was was on the red coloured part of the side.
On closer inspection of where the number used to be I noticed the black skirt was different - sort of not so deep. I only noticed this because the end I was was looking at was coupled to 221105, so easy to compare. The red part covering each buffer(?) is also slightly deeper and looked newer.
I cannot be sure but the other end of 221108 seemed to be the same so maybe its not the result of front end damage ?. In any case the driver of 221108 can relax in the knowledge that spotters are not going to rush towards the train as it approaches.
I did a quick search before posting this but still expect someone to tell me - did you not know ? only 105 is left unchnged !.
