I think there is discussion at crossed purposes here!
If I've followed it correctly, the summary is as follows:
The 'showmans' is an ex-Angola road locomotive - so quite clearly NOT a genuine showmans, and has never been one.
The engine shown by David at a sale, minus cylinder, is 7871. This engine apparently DOES have showland history. Whether it ever became a fully fitted showmans or not is a different matter.
