Cabside handrails

I need to pay attention more often. There I was about to get on the phone to Trevor and point out a missing hole for a handrail knob on the cabsides. Then I took a proper look at the photos and realised that the real loco had a special, weird handrail support which held two handrails.

What's that about ? Do the designers of these locomotives not consider the problems of modelmakers ?

I suppose it does save the cost of two turned brass handrail knobs so someone benefits...
