Not really, the main reason is that when taking these pictures, people
usually point at the front of a train when it is entering the
platform.
Trust me, it's not very nice coming out of a dark tunnel to have a
bright flash in your face just as you're trying to berth the train in
the platform, apart from the obvious safety implications.
Tell me, on the Northern Line, are the trains still over length for the
stations so that the driver has to position his cab over the stopping
diamond in the far tunnel.

Sorry for the late comment, I missed this post.

No, the 95stock stopping marks are all positioned so that the driver can
stop with his cab door in the platform, albeit it is a bit tight on the SB
island platforms at Clapham. Although diamond marks are still there, they
are redundant, as are the coasting boards. All the stopping marks at the
stations are now the white and green boards.
