The NAMC’s “Catalog of all Series Matchbox Models” (first edition) does not list any variations not already noted by Nick. Neither does Houghton nor Stannard.
The AIM “1-75 Series Regular Wheels” catalogue (second printing, 1983) has a variation 54-1d listed as 12.5 x 40 BPW, r/a, open one end/closed one end, with aerial and hatch - a plausible wheel/body crossover resulting from stockroom emptying prior to model deletion. If confirmed, this would be Nick's new code 5.
U.K. Matchbox did not cover the model.
