Hi Charlie

Assume that would be a ‘modified’ AAR 1937 boxcar. Found a few series on the list by Ed Hawkins here:

http://www.steamerafreightcars.com/prototype/frtcars/mod37aarpdfmain.html

I-GN 17751- 17825 (straight sill between bolsters)

M-I 4250-4299

KO&G 30006-30008

MP 32500-33299 (straight sill between bolsters on all)
MP 34113-34262
MP 34263-34287
MP 34300-34599

StLB&M 17501-17600 (straight sill between bolsters)
StLB&M 18000-18249
StLB&M 18250-18449

Other cars that used that 5/5 end were the War Emergency boxcars which were to all intents and purposes a composite side version of the Modified 1937 AAR car but I do not think the MP or subsidiaries owned any.

Cheers, Ben
