Hello Jim,
I have had several looks at those plans, they concentrate on the outside counterweights and arms the
internal ones would be a bit different? Maybe a photo of an engine loading at Como dock might help!...

I'm not sure what you mean by "internal ones." I you are referring to the inner coal door, it hinges from the top and is pushed open by the coal, so it doesn't need counterweights. The only part that has counterweights is the apron.
