Does anyone know if the clamshell coil cars had extended drawbar pockets or regular with underframe cushioning. I have a couple models and want to rebuild them and since I have to do the ends and install coupler pockets they might as well be right. Thanks if anyone can help. :) :)

Two pictures on page 49 of "NYC Color Guide to Freight and Passenger Equipment" by D.R. Sweetland and R.J. Yanosey, cleary show that P&LE clamshell coil cars #42256 & #42252 have extended drawbar coupler pockets. Both cars have Jade Green bodies, while #42256 has silver clamshells and #42252 has Jade Green shells.
