Mark 1 and Mark 2 difference question

Don't know if this is the right place, but is there an easy way to tell a BR Mark 1 coach from an early Mark 2?

 

Rounded ends to the roof on a Mk2. Ray.

 

Solebars covered by the body sides on MK2, and exposed on the MK1 (the XP64 which were mainly like the MK1 also had the Solebars covered but were only eight coaches in total)

 

Does anyone have any photos that show the difference more clearly?

 

Not my photos, but look at post 34 on this web page, which show both the differences in ends and sole bars for Mark 1s, early Mark 2s, later Mark 2s and Mark 3s / Mark 4s quite clearly.
