It might well be helpful if the standalone readers at NR stations (the

All of the ones I've seen on SWT have yellow vinyl, like this one at
Fulwell:

No, sorry, that's not what I meant - pretty much all the standalone
readers have the requisite yellow pad, unless someone's ripped it off
(though the yellow is more commonly lacking on gates).
What I was referring to is yellow 'flashes' on the actual stainless
steel box constructions that contain them (which I recall Mr Thant
describing as looking like a school metalworks project!). I've tried
and failed to find a photo to illustrate what I mean, but they are
'decorated' in this manner at some DLR stations, the idea being to
draw passengers' attention towards them.
I presume you mean these:

Quite hard to miss, and not as ugly as they could be either.
Yes, that's what I meant.
