Even from a cursory glance it's obvious that this is 47601; the Ruston Paxman 16RK3CT prime mover is installed, the headlight has been fitted, the small vent above the door is in place, the engine room window is absent - it even has 47601 ex 47046 chalked on the cabside. But officially the number was not changed to 47601 until December 1975 so it was still 47046 at this time (on paper anyway!).
