Is that the one that escaped destruction due to being knocked face down or some other strange reason?

Yes, I believe that is the case, although I could be getting it confused with the cavalryman Longingus, whose stele is also in the Colchester Castle Museum, now reunited with Longinus' face which had been knowed off it in antiquity but which was found about five years ago.
