The Sealink one is actually very good, because it records an error which really happened.
The British Rail logo was meant to reflect reality - If you are standing on a platform of a normal through station with double track between the platforms, trains on the track nearest you will be travelling to the left, and those on the far line will be moving to the right. So the starboard side of the funnels was OK.
It seems the contractors doing the painting did not realise this and made both sides match, so the port side actually had the 'trains' running the wrong way. I believe it was corrected some months later, after the Heraldic Authorities became involved.
