H after the number letters under the number?

One of a handful of early "Phase I" SW7s which, except for the full height radiator opening at the front, look like late NW2s.

The "H" after the number was referred to as the alpha digit. My understanding is it was a means of verifying the locomotive number. On the Southern if you were a clerk and you were entering locomotive numbers onto a computer generated consist you had to include the alpha digit. Using this locomotive, if you entered SOU 1107F instead of the correct "H",the computer would not take it and you would have to verify the number so as to get the correct number.
