Actually: By the time of Hartnel's last outing he was using what's variously referred to as the 'altered' or 'modified' Brachacki Tardis (after Peter Brachaki, the designer of the original version). Although it now turns out (with much research) that this box has the front and rear doors made from two of the 'fake' Tardis cupboards that appeared in The Celestial Toymaker. All of which is to say that this particular cobbled together prop never appeared with white windows (discounting the stint as cupboard doors) or with the St John's logo, which presumably stayed with the original doors (fate unknown). This can all be seen in the prop's first outing at the very end of The War Machines and is obvious in the cuts between location - showing the original doors, with white windows (that include drip-sills) the lock on the left door and the (painted over) St John's badge - and the studio shots which show no drip-sills, blue frames, no badge and the lock on the other door.Finally caught up on Who.
I really only have geeky prop commentary about Hartnell's Tardis.
So strange to leave off the St. Johns Ambulance emblem since Hartnell's was the only one to HAVE it until the latest version.
Likewise, it should have white trim around the windows. It disappeared after Mind Robber (when the entire thing was painted white, then all-blue again including trim).
I loved the Hartnell Tardis interior set recreation. The console should be a very light, pale green, though.
There's some debate about this, but Moffat and others come down on the side of 'It was painted green only so that it looked bright white on black-and-white TV' so, ignoring brief appearances with Pertwee tinkering on it (by which time the green had faded a lot anyway) it was intended to appear white.
