Two plus Three seating in class 150?

From my visit to Cornwall last month - I recall (but didn't get round to reporting) a class 150 carriage with 2+3 seating - whereas my old recollections are of 2+2.   Can someone fill me in ...   Thanks

The 2+3 seats shown seem to be the original type and layout installed in the early versions of 150 sprinters. I did think this was the blunt ended 150/0 series only. Someone else may know better.

I remember 2+3 in the Wales & West 150/2s, these were converted to 2+2 when they were refurbished by Wessex Trains in 2002/3.

I have looked back at my pictures, and I suspect the carriage with 2 + 3 was part on 150202.  Did it miss the refurb?  Was it a later arrival?

There is one solitary odd one that has 3+2. I’ve always it originated elsewhere to the rest, or for a route that required 3+2.
It was away for quite some time in 2022 for a major exam and overhaul but came back in the same layout but reupholstered.
