The BN4 was built at two separate facilities. The BN6 was only made at
Abingdon. When Production started at Abingdon they were only making
BN6 'til the changeover much later in the year to include BN4s. The new
design coincided with the introduction of the BN6 and is recorded as
such in photographic evidence and the restoration guide by
Anderson/Moment.
I don't recall ever seeing a car or picture of a BN6 with the early
type seat.
