Surely there were large numbers of 1959 and 1962 stock trains in
service by then? Admittedly, their design was pretty similar to the
1938s, so they may not have seen much newer.

They did, and the 1959 stock were the first 'silver' trains - but
they did not run on the lines used by the previous poster at the time.


Weren't there silver R stock trains before then?

1949 IIRC - apparently they dismantled one after they were withdrawn
and the body was reckoned to still have a few more years left in it.
