Looks like they did consider a Met design for the new series...

I admit I was playing that one a little tactically, in case anyone wasn't convinced it was the 7B this was my ace, you might say!
And thus: the weathering on the sign matching the 7B:

Isn't it how ironic that we have to think of solutions out of the box, in order to build our boxes a lot of the time?

Not only has it been verified, but the door handle is missing a top screw! ;)

Haha well spotted! Did that particular handle have 2 screw holes before? I seem to remembering it having one on the series 5 prop...

The Series 5 (and maybe 6) prop(s) had single screw handles.  It seems they got lucky for the most recent box(es) to get chrome double screw handles.

I think that's a promotional prop.  They've had it on display since middle of last year.  Notice it has the narrower panels like the Series 7B prop.

I posted an update about the "Series 8" box here. As it relates to the Christmas Special it's under the spoiler thread. http://tardisbuilders.com/index.php?topic=4631.msg56402#msg56402
