That's right; with no loading hatch on the roof above, little of the lading would be spilled there, to later be washed down the sides in those areas. The partial panels near the ends of the cars are inset somewhat, too, protecting them from any run-off. Note that the first car has 6 square hatches (three per side), while the newer car in the second photo has 8 round ones.
