2-6-0 Steam Locomotive 43021 - class 2MT?

I am not sure but I think this steam loc 43021 is one of three variants of the 2-6-0 theme that were introduced in the early 1950s.
But I might be absolutely wrong!

Comments

This is a 4MT Class Mogul 2-6-0 designed by George Ivatt, the Chief Mechanical Engineer of the LMSR, the prototype of which emerged from the ex-Lancashire & Yorkshire workshops at Horwich, near Bolton in 1947. This was an austerity design, and only 3 were built before nationalization on 1 January 1948. Construction continued at Donaster, Darlington and Horwich until 162 had been built by 1952.
43106 has been preserved.
