Default Guards vans

On my model of an MHG guards van, one end is "dreadnought" and the other end
is plain (flat). On this plain end there are steps and handrails to allow
access to the roof.
Why did guards need access to the roof?

Not so much as to "get to the roof" , used more to get to the tail light
brackets.

Then what happened at the other end of the van, where there are no apparent
means of climbing to the brackets?
Did they have to turn vans so that the "plain" end was always at the rear?
(please- no 50 post thread on this. That was a rhetorical question).
I would have thought the lamp brackets were accessible from the running
boards.
Lambing Flat, or Eddie, ( or any ex-guard) got anything to say on this?
Are you a guard from way back, Marc H?
