Hello, I now own 3 different BN GP20s and was hoping someone might know about them. I´ll post a pic or two once I figure out how to do such as I haven't found that many online

Nice collection of variations you have there.

None are prototypes, all production models, the early BN GP20s had the road name on the cab, hence the offset logo. The road name and number were eventually swapped, but the offset logo stayed. The Red Box era one is the hardest to find, and the late Bown Box era is the easiest to find.
Redbox era : roadname on cab, number on long hood
Early Brown Box : number on cab, Roadname on long hood
Late Brown Box : number on cab, Roadname on long hood, brighter green, bigger text

And the photo, so people don't have to download it:
