I boarded the train at a different carriage this evening, further towards the middle, and I noticed that the end doors had short lengths of L bracket down the edges of the door frames, and it had a wiper on the left hand window. I wondered what the history of this is.

You would have been on the UNDM (Uncoupling Non Driving Motor) under the perch seat is a panel the train can be driven from when the train is split in two or to be coupled to another unit in the depot. |

I've noticed the metal thing on the door edges on the 72ts single leaf doors too, and the 96ts.

Ah, that makes sense. So there would be a matching configuration in the next carriage, then. Funny how you use something for years and suddenly notice something you've not noticed before!
