Corgi '36 Reo Shippensburg

Based on the latest promo photos I've seen of this release: Is this model completely devoid of any red warning lights? The NMMM release, it appears had a siren/flasher atop the windshield and an additional light mounted above the bumper on a V-bracket.

FDNY Seagrave J Series E305....

Re-the "now" E305, is this a "different" cab in anyway to the others previously released? Just wondered with the statement that it was the only J series cab purchased by FDNY in 2005 - is this significant for any specific reason?
