What logos and/or writing did the A stock in this livery have on them (did they have London Transport or a roundel)?

Were these mock-ups used around the late 80s to hint at a new corporate logo?

These names were, I guess, unofficial and removed by management?

Yep! "Not (then) in accord with the company's image" apparently!

Don't know about "Val" but the others were first names of long-serving members of staff at Neasden depot - some of them Motormen.
