Still, it is not clear how the station code is - CNB ?

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 here

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

Like the "Printer's devil", could it have been a "Painter's devil" ?

Seriously, we need to look into the history of Railways in India.

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

India's most under-rated station! has always been cleaner than NDLS!
