Yes indeed! There is one more section on the turret that can be seen on the one on the rear which has the missing word "North". Delhi station used to be shared by East Indian Railway and North Western Railway and its successor Eastern Punjab Railway.
Another historical picture of this station can be seen

Was it in the Western Railway or in North Western Railway ?
A portion is missing in the photograph.

By any chance, was there a single alphabet N, on the top? Long shot I know...
