Just a brief update — I found five pictures of these cars, all from the right side. Builder’s photos, which I got from Ed Hawkins many years ago.
100-124 had black hardware, including the door mechanism, and 1″ stripes above and below the reporting marks. 125-174, built two years later, had all the hardware painted same yellow as the car side. Both had the two-herald paint scheme with full-color heralds, with the MP herald toward the brakewheel end, without stripes around the reporting marks.
My assumption is that these cars, many of them, could have been repainted in the early to mid sixties, so they could have carried the yellow with black heralds or the orange. I have no photos to substantiate this.
