This one for example, todayAre you sure you are seeing those particular moves?
RTT definitely shows them both running as class 0 (light engine moves) both yesterday...

In addition to RTT, TOPS shows this afternoon's move running as 0Z71 (again, a light engine headcode):
I know TOPS can sometimes be wrong due to human error, so as a final check, I looked at the
OTT signalling diagram for the Lewes area which also shows the train running as a class 0:

In my experience, it is extremely unusual for a Train Describer to incorrectly depict a
class 6 train as a light engine, so is it possible that you could have seen a different train?

Was a rake of red DBS hoppers when it came past me here in south london.
However... I can confirm that this one:
