Incidentally, one of the cab doors was open. I only caught a
glimpse, but the colour of it and the fuse box array made me
think that the cabs on those trains was very similar to what you
would see on D stock trains.

I thought the 83TS was designed for a lot of common parts with D
stock, including traction motors and wheels. That would explain why
there are no bogies on these cars.

Sorry, which cars?

The ones stuck on top of a viaduct at Shoreditch.

All the ones I've noticed still had bogies attached to them -
that's mainly how they manage to stay on the rails!

I watched the ones being craned out of Uxbridge and Cockfosters and
they still certainly appeared to have bogies attached at that time.
Although I can't comment on them being removed for further use
later, I wouldn't have thought they'd be much use after 10 years or
so sat under a derelict train.
