Things usually starts very harmless...

O.K. Thank you.
Now i know that it is an H-5 where i have to look for.
There are much more ???s.
Steam pipes from the smokebox to the rear cylinders. In Kalmbach's book they are pictured more rearward on the smokebox.
The runningboard and the steps from the pilot deck.
Cab, USRA style, cut off lower edge or forward slant, which is correct?

Edit:
Searching in the net i found this:

That must be an H-5 as the text notes. "Locomotive has still USRA horizontal smokebox door."

Further in my papers i found an copy of "Railway Mechanical Engineer Vol. 93, No. 2, February 1919, pages 75 ff."
An article of the then new "Standard 2-6-6-2 Type Locomotive" inclusive drawings.
A small b&w photo shows an 2-6-6-2 USRA estimated to the C&O.
The text says that there were orders for 30 locomotives.

Don't ask were i have this copy from. It may be from an public online library or archieve.

Meanwhile DHL delivered the second atticulated:
