The 47s weren't part of Anglia's fleet, they were on hire from Cotswold rail during the summer for services that went beyond the electrified mainline, only one, 47714, received Anglia livery.
Anglia's London trains were formed of a Class 86 electric loco, usually at the London end, then first class Mk2 coaches, a buffet car, standard Mk2 coaches and a MK2 DBSO (Driving Brake Standard Open) usually at the 'Country' end. They worked in push-pull mode. I can't remember the exact number of first and standard coaches, but there were ten vehicles (including the locomotive) in the train. The buffet car was usually a Mk3 vehicle, with first class accomodation, but there was a Mk1 restaurant car in use aswell (IIRC, the last on the mainline, I don't believe it ever received Anglia livery).
They have also used Class 90 locomotives on the London trains from time to time to cover for unavailable Class 86s. Although the exact locomotives varied, 90016, 90036 (both EWS machines) and 90049 (Freightliner) have definately been used.
Anglia had the following locomotives and DMUs at one point or another in their fleet:
86209 86215 86217 86218 86220 86221 86223 86227 86230 86232 86234 86235 86237 86238 86242 86246 86250 86252 86257 86260
150213 150217 150227 150229 150231 150235 150237 150245 150255 150257
153306 153309 153311 153314 153322 153326 153335
170201-170208, 170270-170273
