How many A4's carried Apple Green livery and for how long?
Were there any variants to the front of the A4's being in black as I have seen in models?

Re: A4's in Apple green
There were only ever nine green A4s, 4482-7 and the livery only lasted from build for up to a year when they were all repainted garter blue.
4483-7 were painted black back to the first boiler band, whilst 4482 had the parabolic curve.
4482 Golden Eagle
4483 Kingfisher
4484 Falcon
4485 Kestrel
4486 Merlin
4487 Sea Eagle
Hornby did 4482 in the old TD version, and Bachmann also.
Hornby also planned to do Sea Eagle (TD) but it never appeared.
4493 Woodcock
4494 Osprey
4495 Great Snipe

Plus
4493, 4494 and for a short time 4495. The last three with the curved smokebox parabola similar to but not quite the same as 4482.
Dates in RCTS Green Vol 2A.
