The Screaming Eagles site on Trainweb, created by Todd Grueter, has a lot of useful photos. In particular,
http://www.trainweb.org/screamingeagle/mow4.html
has several good underbody photos taken by the late Elvin Klepzig of a car that had all its original underbody equipment. Even the steam line is intact, except for the Barco joint being removed and the line capped off. There’s even some weathered asbestos in one view.
It’s pretty apparent where the air reservoir and the brake valve are in those photos, but it’s less obvious to me exactly where the brake cylinder is.
