Fair question John as Iron Duke was 70014!
Pat Hammond lists 2 versions of R056 carrying the number 70047 and two carrying 70014 (In Ramsey's Catalogue).. One was fitted with a smoke unit and deflectors made in limited quanities (c50) about 1976 and valued at £120 in 2006.Best person to ask woulf be Pat Hammnd. See:

Best wishes,
John H-T.
On re-reading this and Ramsay's Guide I note a mistake: Smoke units were NOT fitted to any of the models!
