I should be able to help you as I see 153s now and again at Exeter. The imported 1501?? class are painted in First dark blue with many names of places in the South West on them. I have seen a green 153 (presumably Midland) but have not noticed any 153s from Midlands as I not know any had been transfered to the South West. I will look more closely next time I travel on GWR lines.
Chris
