Hello
New here.
Can anyone identify the heraldic crest for me that is under the "60009" of the cabin of Union of South Africa. I've looked through Googles images of LNER crests but it's not there. Specifically I'd like a good copy of it to make decals for a scratch build I'm undertaking.
Also, what is the "flying antelope" (my best guess) plaque mid-ships of the driver's side? And why is it not on the other side too?
Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.

The single plaque appeared in the 50s as a gift from a S African newspaper.
Others have been on and off during the preservation era.

The Coat of Arms is that of the Union of South Africa, granted in 1910, but replaced in modern times.
The plaque shows a springbok.

Re: Union of South Africa Cabin Crest
Thank you very much gents! Found it now on Google too.
Is there a back story to the springbok? Another gift maybe? And why only on one side?
