In Worms Armageddon, a British video game from the late 1990s, there is a map used in one of the missions that looks like this:

In it, we see a diesel shunter with a few distinctive-looking features, in a yellow livery with what looks like a London Underground roundel (though it could also feasibly be a stylisation of the British Railways lion-in-wheel symbol).
Now, I'm curious as to if this is based on a real shunter, or if it's something someone's likely fabricated from their recollection of what they look like. Does anyone have any thoughts?
I've been googling around for a while now, and the closest I've found is Barclay shunter: http://www.philt.org.uk/Industrial/Ind-DE/i-JLz5g3J/0/L/ab578-L.jpg
However, it's not quite right in many ways. Some of the people I was looking with have posted other examples that are closer in some aspects but less close in others.
So, any ideas?
