Hornby - Ruston Hornsby 88DS locomotive

According to the Ruston 88DS Worklist in the booklet "The Ruston" by David R Hall published by The Moseley Railway Trust; during WW2 a number of 88DS locos were supplied both to the Air Ministry and the Admiralty presumably for use in MUs/stores depots. Is there any one out there who can please point me in the right direction to find out what liveries and numbers they carried. I would like to repaint one of Hornby's 88DSs preferably into Air Ministry/RAF colours.
TIA Tony.

Have a look at this. It only gives a black and white picture - but it's a start. Once you have opened the link, scroll down.
