    Apparently not, here’s what Circular 4 dated 1/1/1950 (Specifications governing uniforms) shows for the cap badges.
    Gilding Base Metal – Gold plated
    Conductor, Station Master, Agent and Baggage Agent
    White metal base – Silver plated
    Trainman, Baggageman, Porter and Gateman

    This circular canceled Circular 4-D dated 1/1/1935.

    Also here’s the list of badges the MPL used. I received this 15-20 years ago from a collector that included the Die numbers.
    Auditor, Baggage Agent, Gateman, Stationmaster, News Service, Baggageman, Agent, Trainman, Conductor, Parlor-Porter and Porter. I assume badges not listed in the 1950 circular were discontinued (auditor, news service,and parlor-porter).

    There were three more dies listed just to complete this die listing; Missouri Pacific Transportation Company, Missouri Pacific Lines, Missouri Pacific Lines Booster Club and Missouri Pacific Lines round die three versions.
