Unidentified Class 47

Wonder if anyone can help - I am trying to id the loco in a photo I have.
It was taken at Stafford probably c. 1998. It is a freightliner train hauled by a Class 47. The loco is named, can see a nameplate. Livery is non standard - appears to be a greenish colour with two red slashes just behind the driver doors. I have it as 47114, but according to all records, that loco was never named. If it is any help I can put the photograph on diesel photo page.

AFAIK
the livery was part of the fledgling Freightliner sector that became Freightliner the company
