I am working on a little research project and am interested in finding prototype photos (NOT MODEL PHOTOS) of the following PO wagons: 

1.    South Leicester (Coalville)
2.    Wrights (Colchester)
3.    A.G. Bailey (Ashford, Kent)
4.    G.H.- G. Hinks Ltd. (Darlington)
5.    F. Carrick & Co. Ltd. (Newcastle upon Tyne)
6.    Frank Lomas (Bakewell, Derbyshire)
7.    J.R. Wood & Co. Ltd. (Kings Cross, London)
8.    Dunlops (Reading)
9.    Gray Brothers (London)
10.   Saxa Salt.  (I have the photo of a preserved Saxa Salt wagon from the Scottish Railway Preservation Society but am looking for others).
 
I am looking for links to online photos where possible, but references to book titles containing prototype photos of the above would also be welcomed.

I am sure I have seen a photo of a prototype South Leicester PO wagon in the past but recent efforts to find it have failed.  Likewise for the other wagons listed above.
 
Thanks in advance.

I don't own any of his books, but Keith Turton's photographic works on private owner wagons by Lightmoor Press, titled "Private owner wagons" has reached its 15th collection volume https://lightmoor.co.uk/books/private-owner-wagons-a-fifteenth-collection/L8535
"I believe in positive, timely solutions, not vague, future promises"

Thanks to everyone that replied.  My Homer Simpson "Doh!" moment was when I realized that I had forgotten to check the HMRS website.  Thanks to @crewearpley40 and @PennineWagons for reminding me to look at this resource and I found several more of the PO wagons I was looking for.  I have ordered digital images of these wagons from HRMS and have already received most of them.

The current list of PO wagons that I am looking for is summarized below.

BTW, when I said I was looking for book titles I really meant I am looking for books that have photos of the wagons I am looking for.  As there must be dozens of books about PO wagons, I was really looking for confirmed photos of the wagons I am researching and then I would go and buy that particular book. 

Thanks again for to everyone that took the time to respond to my original post.  The information was very helpful.
