[Talk-GB] post_box:design to select for newer style post boxes

[matt at theproctors.net]

I have been trying to add post_box:design tags around me, and while
type_a/b/c/k are generally straightforward, there are some newer style post
boxes (made by Romec) now around me:

They are larger than a traditional type_b, but probably smaller than a
traditional type_a. Actually I haven't measured them, and there may even be
size variations within the styles.

 

Do these have new designations from Royal Mail (like the type_m/n lamp
boxes) or still fall under the type_a/b naming?

 

There are also differences *within* a type, for example some (older) E2R
type_c have a single front cypher:

While others have 2 front cyphers and a rear cypher:

And there are variations through the other ranges (e.g. "anonymous" with
higher aperture vs lower aperture; crown size on GR boxes; EVIIR Cypher
styles )

 

Are there additional tagging recommendations for this level of detail, or is
it best just left to the notes?

 

Thanks
