Could anyone tell me the exact date that Green Arrow was completed at Doncaster works?

Into traffic 13th June, but was first photographed at Doncaster on 1st June, so must have been finished in May! First photo was with A3 type nameplate; photographed rebadged and renumbered on 3rd June.

RCTS and Irwell do not give a 'completed' date.

Thanks very much :)

It would be interesting to see that photo of 4771 with the splasher mounted nameplate. Do you have a link for it?
