Photographic evidence, etc.

I've removed the following because it's entirely unsourced and reads like WP:OR/commentary/personal opinion.

Photographic evidence exists of GCR 565 having been retro-fitted with coil springs on the crank axle (but not the trailing axle).

Yeadon described 561 (the prototype) as being the only one built with tapered buffer housings, this is incorrect. There is a photo of 567 in MSLR livery that definitely has tapered housing buffers, as does the photo of 565 in GCR livery. The line engraving of 687 in MSLR livery (alongside) also shows the tapered housings

A photo of 5706 in LNER days shows that it (and by then, all of the class) had been fitted with group standard buffers - probably because the springs in the earlier design tended to break...
