Question speed camera?

I went by a trevello forward facing speed camera today and noticed there was another fixed camera in front of it which was smaller,forward facing and painted grey.Any idea what these are for?

Amber Gambler cameras are Grey, as are all the cameras on the M42 speed check zone

This camera isnt near traffic lights,so not an amber gambler camera.Its in the middle of a dual carridgeway,the trevello is painted yellow and the grey one is in front of it maybe a foot or two smaller. Its fixed,not mobile so assume its not a tax/insurance camera?
