I think Dave might be onto something with the whiskers - over here we had a whole series of railcars painted with what were known as "Speed Whiskers" in the 1950s and 1960s, these were a pair of curved white stripes applied to the cab ends on the units - photo here of a preserved example: http://www.railcar.co.uk/pics/Preserved/120-129/127/51618.htm
