Malcolm:

To the best of my knowledge, S was for sliding door. W-5s were built originally without doors, so as each one was modified they put an SW before its number.

They didn't bother with S prefixes on the later Ws because they came standard with sliding doors.

I don't know what number that started with but I know the Clydes didn't have sliding doors and they were numbered into the high 700s.
