    Assuming you mean 3850, then yes they are.

    3860 is on the NYMR - mind you, it is a Mark 1 TSO coach, not a loco! (One of the very few to have never been painted in Blue/Grey or a later livery - it at 9235 were bought by the NYMR from Alan Pegler in 1969 and were possibly the first Mark 1s to be preserved on a heritage railway. Both arrived in BR maroon).

    One of the TSOs on the North norfolk was the first preserved Mk 1, I believe - it was purchased as a vandalised ex-football special coach in (I think) 1968. I have a feeling it may be 3868.
