Thanks Dan,
I had been looking for a long time, when Christian added the picture of the one he had found, it was the first one I had seen.

Now we know how to tell the genuine reverse colour dumpers from the fakes!

Just had a thought: we now have the possibilities of there also being two rare crossovers, I) chassis with block, tipper without, and ii) tipper with stop block, chassis without.

If I'm looking at the right bit the one J has found has a stop block on the tipper

J's has stop blocks both on the chassis and on the tipper.

sorry i thought J's was the top one without the chassis stop block as it looks to have a block on the tipper

I never noticed this before, as I simply never looked closely at that part of the model, but now I can confirm that my example without the hole also has no stop blocks on both chassis and tipper.
Jason's is therefore not really a new variation, but the same as mine.
The question now is if there are examples with hole and without stop blocks, and/or without hole and with stop blocks, in addition to the chassis/tipper stop block combinations as mentioned above.
