unusual shunter at Clapham Junction?

Can anyone please help with a query my cousin has raised with me?

On his daily commute via Clapham Junction he has seen what appears to be a Class 08/09 shunter on track 7 in one of the sheds. It is near Platform 7 but not quite visible from there! What is unusual is that this shunter appears to have a totally yellow (not yellow/black striped) cab end and it has a headcode display. I have never heard of these classes of shunter having a headcode display.

Is there something special about this shunter or does it in fact belong to another Class?
