Like GD I'm aware of the odd case where George VI's name was substituted but
not of any bells with Edward VIII's name on them.
 
Although the subject is off-topic, if any one wants a complete list of
Edward VIII pillar boxes (there are no lamp or wall boxes) one is available
from the Letter Box Study Group.  We've got one of the large A size ones at
Greaves on the soutrh side of Lancaster.

No - but I can tell you where there is a pillar box with his name on it, if
you are interested!

And there's two post officers with his coat of arms, one here in Bradford,
the other, I think, somewhere in East Anglia.
