They all say pretty much the same thing (i.e. what you stated above).

You are right, though. Just from the photos I've got in the two Peter
Haining books, I've noticed at least three signs, the first one white with
dark lettering, the others dark with white lettering.

I've also noticed two completely different police boxes!

One photo of Patrick Troughton reviewing the script with a Yeti shows the
TARDIS in the background, and I noticed that it was different than the one
I had seen in later photos, and in later episodes of the series. (If you
have the book DOCTOR WHO: A CELEBRATION, check out the photo, paying close
attention to the roof and the molding immediately under it.)
