I'll go out on a limb and assume that is an honest question.
The post-war R-type cars were colloquially known as "SMEE cars"
because their braking system was a radical departure from the
older AMUE cars. All passenger cars from R10 through and including
R42 were very similar, mechanically. Technically, some of the
later cars (commencing with contract R-40, I think) had a brake
schedule called RT-1, but it was 100% compatible with SMEE and
differed only in the parts list.
