Which may help to answer a question from much earlier in this thread.
You can just make out the difference in rollcage design in that picture, so looks like Cleland did swap cars at some point.

That's a good spot! The Silverstone pic clearly shows Louise in #58 with the 'X'- style rollcage, and Cleland's #56 without the 'X'.
The Aitken-Walker/Rossiter LHD ex-rallycar seems to have had a third configuration of cage, with a single diagonal brace

At the risk of dragging the thread well and truly off-topic, the Maserati was red with a blue stripe and Campari sponsorship for Nick May in '88, but IIRC wasn't it red with a white stripe and Nokia(?) sponsorship for Tomas Mezera and Vic Lee in '89?
