Yes, but both are in the new scheme with the large BR herald on the side. No photos yet of the Simplified Script which appeared on the later on the as delivered plug door car schemes. You can see that scheme on 76106 on the same Flickr page.

An interesting find, however, is that 76106 has its Lt Wt and reweigh data (PLT 9.55) in the same lettering and color as the CAPY and LD.LMT. data. If you scroll down to the photo of 76001 you will see that when originally delivered the bottom data line is in white letters on a brown background. So by 1955 the plug door cars were matching the Accurail plug door BREX reefer scheme.
