There was a minor difference between the R-12s and the R-14s. The R-12s had the blue floor with the orange diamonds by the stanchions and the orange stripes from the seat areas to the doors like the R-10s. The R-14s had a plain dark red floor. |

Yes. technically all SMEEs from the R-10s through the R-32s are mechanically identical except for the door controls which are caps & triggers on the 10s through 14s and inside the cab on everything else. Even on cars with in cab door controls, a change was made from faucet handles on 15s through 22s to buttons on everything since. |
