It doesn't reaaaaallly look like that, though.
The base structure was very monochromatic brick that I think contributes to the deco "carved in stone" aesthetic. By contrast, you can clearly see the wonder model just reused British city assets, which all have that grey framing/moulding on literally everything.
Battersea also has a very deco glass roof covering the entire upper structure, which is totally absent in the wonder model and replaced with crappy greenhouse-style roofs. And, in general, a lot of the additional glasswork on the wings is missing.
Granted, the Byrsa also looks like it was phoned in with reused assets, too.
Just FYI, Battersea is no longer a functioning power station anymore. It was left abandoned and gutted, and then it got converted into a shopping mall (pretty cool one too).
Those crappy greenhouse-style roofs were what existed in the original power station.
