However the strip-down revealed a number of significant internal differences. Many contemporary photographs of Buffet Car interiors were available, although not attributable to individual carriages, which suggested a common 'theme' but with some variations. Significant extra research work was therefore undertaken in an attempt to restore 643 as closely as possible to its actual original condition rather than just as a 'generic' Buffet Car.  One of the features found during the strip-down was remnants of the red and gold rexine, a finish previously unknown to the restoration team but subsequently found in a contemporary artist's impression.<ref group="note">Richard Gunnings' restoration notes in SVR News later suggested that only Diagram 167 Buffet Cars built before 1937 had features such as pelmets and curtains as per 51769's restoration. Both were part of Lot 643 and 51769 although they were allocated to different LNER Regions, evidenced by their different original numbers (GER and GCR respectively).</ref><ref name=SVR91/></ins></div></td></tr>
