Notes:
1.	From the 1923 grouping through to 1928 the locomotives LB&SCR numbers were retained with a ‘B’ prefix added.
2.	Nos. 105 to 109 were ordered in Mar-14 but were delayed by the First World War.
3.	Tank vents removed by LB&SCR.
4.	Whistles relocated from cab roof, cab roof trimmed and steps inset to conform with SR composite loading gauge when Eastleigh commenced maintenance post-grouping.
5.	Nationalisation renumbering commensurate with fitment of Ashford-pattern injectors replaced Weir-type and feed-water heating equipment discarded.
