In recent pictures taken at the Mid Norfolk Railway, there is a rake of PNA wagons, one of which is 3752. Can anyone answer the following questions:
1. Are these wagons preserved by the MNR, stored there, hired or some other use?
2. What are the numbers of these wagons?
Thanks

Apparently these wagons arrived on 26 September 2018. There's a nice shot of them arriving at Wymondham behind 56103 on the Class 56 Group website -
The caption answers your questions:

56103 made an unusual appearance for the class to the Breckland Line last Wednesday, when it worked the 6Z35 0824 Willesden DC Rail Sidings – Dereham (Mid Norfolk Railway), conveying the twelve PNA wagons previously used by DC Rail which have been sold by the wagon leasing company (VTG). The wagons are to be utilised for the movement of ballast and spoil on the Mid Norfolk Railway, in conjunction with a three-year contract with Greater Anglia for provision of siding space whilst the company undertakes a fleet replacement programme.
... PNA wagons 3793, 3765, 3776, 3753, 3770, 3752, 3787, 3762, 3761, 3784, 3751 & 3782
