Western Thunderer
I presume your client didn't want the GWR roundel. Introduced in late 1934, photographic evidence shows the previous full 'Great Western' was still in evidence in 1939 and later and so you are on safe ground. When I took up painting & lining, no one wanted the roundel on thier locos.
GWR official photo circa September 1934 showing the route disc. Large Prairies continued to carry the route disc on the cabside after shutters were fitted, so who knows when the disc moved to above the number plate.
