Now the question I have (Jan will probably know), is the mis-match of handles (regulator and whistle) correct? if not I have a spare of the older, dark handle.

Except for the burner itself, I'd've said it was un-fired. Nicest example I've seen in awhile.

it is in exceptionally good condition Nick, this would be a good starter engine for one of the boys 😉👍

A very nice example that one Nick, congrats and well done !!!
As far as the "mismatch" goes, it is perfectly original.
Guess they at the time, still had the bakelite steamvalves for the TE/Rollers in stock, while their stock of whistles, which was used on several other small engines, had already depleted, and been replaced by the later plastichandle version.
