Thanks, Sumpter! Cool find. I believe that's a later model than the cars I'm working with. If you come across any earlier ones let me know. I think they also went by the name 'Rogers Balast Car' or 'Rodgers' sp.
There was a google book I stumbled across during a similar search that seemed to say there were some modifications made in the way these cars 'convert' from center to side dump or to flat bottm, and from recessed ends to full length. I'm not 100% sure on the details of how the conversion was done.

I may not be a rivet counter, but I sure do like rivets!
