Here's a box car converted to MW service -- an ATEX weed sprayer -- with a step and grab.
Browsing through my MW photos (not by me, so I can't post them here), I do note a fair number of boxcars have steps or steps-and-grabs. It's entirely possible that the PRR/PC, with a good supply of former box express cars, transferred them to MW service when express service stopped because they had steps and were otherwise in good condition.
