A New Livery for GNR Atlantics

Saw this poster at Levisham (NYMR) today. Perhaps it might raise some nice controversial options for new models?
I did think though that the only inside-cylindered GNR Atlantic was one of the Klondykes, and this one appears to have a fatter boiler.
There does not appear to be any indication as to the identity of the model-maker.

Is it perhaps supposed to be M & GNR?

But could a Klondyke be what our bucket and spade expert intended? Behind the rear coupled wheel splasher there is no inclined side to a wide firebox, but a vertical suggesting the cab side.
So, the M&GN mustard yellow, with an experimental lilac treatment for the wheels...

The scallop-shell wheels might have made for a bumpy ride!
