Could it be the lamp they put on the War Doctor's Tardis after they moved it to the Experience?

Looks to be the standard lamp on the prop:

Whilst the War Doctor's TARDIS had a TYJ-style lamp:

Yeah, I think you're right. It's probably an optical illusion, or something, because it looks so much bigger in proportion to the box than the one on Jodie's Tardis.
I'm assuming it's simply a case of wanting it to look different (but not too much) and this is the prop they had spare.
 
Great to see the prop in this weeks episode. Im sure I remember it being listed for sale after Twice Upon a Time on one of the usual websites. Can’t seem to find the link now...

It was presumably taken down after the BBC asked for it back for the episode.

Or it was bought by someone and borrowed back by the BBC? Mind you you would have to be a bit bonkers to lend it to them I've heard reports from first hand sources that they are very heavy handed with scenery

Glad to know some things never change at the BBC.
 
A friend of mine just sent me this picture. Apparently it's from the Time Fracture performances. Is it the David Bradley II/Ruth TARDIS, or is it a new build? It looks strikingly similar to the one we've already seen, especially the texturing.

The TARDIS prop at Time Fracture appears to be the Bradley/Martin box, here's a comparison on texture patterns on the two boxes:

Sorry, I haven't been into this forum in a long, long time...is there any plans/blueprints for this Box? I want to have a go at 3d modelling the TUAT/Ruth Doctor box! 😁

I did have a look at the Plan Index but I can't seem to find it there...maybe I'm not looking properly, I'll have another browse-around.
 
Well, it's a replica of the Barachaki box after it was "renovated."  I know there are pristine Barachaki blueprints on here.  There are people with a lot better eye for detail than I, but basically if you started with that, stuck the "clover" door stops on the top of the doors, chopped out about 5" of the roof stack and replaced the Fresnel lens with a simple frosted cylinder, you'd be pretty close. 
 
Tony Farrell who advised the production on the building of the Hartnell sets and box posted the plans of he gave to the production of the 1966 box, they box they built is basically an idealised version of the one in the plans.
