Another addition to the above ^^^ post:
There has been some doubt on here about whether MABO of Paris actually supplied NGCs. We know that they supplied B-series ERFs. DEANB and I have for some time been convinced that MABO was supplying the French examples; and now we have proof in the shape of a MABO plate affixed to 1557PF89, 
a picture of which I have posted below. Cheers, Robert
And furthermore, you can just make out ‘Customer MABO’ on the original ERF build-sheet! [see below]
