Replica "Pairs" that isn't a "pairs" anymore.
[long story - to summarise; the rebuilder didn't preserve the "gap" between A7+C10, the two original 4-wheeler bodies]
Also - as can be seen in other images - the interior work (whilst of a good standard) is not prototypical, nor is the upholstery in the first class the correct material.
Not my image : fair use & comment

One of the other problems - the floorboards are fastened with cross-head screws, improperly countersunk, and only painted over.

Several problems with this rebuild.
Floor (1) - transverse planking and not diagonal. Note the joint bottom right of this image

Even runs to carpet.
Pity about the damaged upholstery on that armrest.
[but I'm not sure if that carpet is correct, in my opinion, the pattern and colours clashes with that of the moquette]

Not as comfortable as it looks, unfortunately.
I would comment that i) the upholstery has been done using moquette, not leather. ii) that the hat rack should be netting.

Looking at the varnished roof and light fitting in F54.
Note; the patress is, IMO, too thick.
and ...
Whilst it looks nice, varnish isn't right for this class of carriage.
