Proposed Police Box Designs

These are 1927 proposed designs for polices boxes by contractors for Standard British Telephones and Cables Ltd (1925 - 1991.) Who incidentally invented fiber optic cables and a few other things. Don't know if they ever ordered any. I have certainly never seen boxes like them, though they are lovely.

At 48 and 50 inches wide and deep according to those drawings, I wonder how much the production team would have downsized the prop/set piece?
