First Diesels delivered without round front logo plate?

The answer to your is yes. The first Diesel locomotives delivered to the N&W did not have to herald plates installed. They were installed beginning with the Red Birds.

  Image "ns1416" in the VPI image archives shows Eng 783 eastbound at Walton on December  13, 1957.  (See attachment)

  The engine has no round "logo plate" welded to its front.

  This raises some questions:  Were the first Diesels delivered without this plate?  Where the engines later fitted with the round logo plates by the N&W?
