I could also make out another tow truck inside the depot, which is probably SH's resident. Any idea of the reg of this one as I don't believe I have ever seen it?

All the stuff of note is hidden right round the back across the rear end of the staff car park which you see to the right from the main gates! ;-)! All you get to see from the front is the lanes for standard running, service vehicles whereas engineering along with the paint shop is down at the back and unfortunately, there's no way to get a view without going through the depot. That's where the MPD that got towed in will have been.

With regards to the tow vehicle, yes, we do indeed have one! However, from what I've been told, it can be just as unreliable as some of the vehicles which is why RNW are often called it. It can also be the case that depending on the location of the breakdown, it may be quicker and more economical to have RNW tow something in than have fitters take the tow vehicle out. I've only ever noted it out once personally recovering a Dart from the bus station however I'm not sure on the reg, sorry! MM may be able to help you out on that one!
