I've had a conversation with the pattern maker on this kit and we've established that we can indeed offer a "as built" variant set of parts for this kit.
A new side plug, a brace and a set of doors.
Not sure how long it will take to get this into production, but I'll try for as quick as possible.

Here here Dave! 

 I feel that the original configuration would benefit pre depression and transition era modelers alike. I would love to own this kit, it looks gorgeous!

I have communicated with Pierre about this off list, but I just want to amplify what Corey has said.  As far as I know, there were 600 of these cars constructed originally in 1923, and they road the rails in that configuration (10 ft wide doors) for more than a decade.  Even then, there are 180 "original" cars in my 1945 ORER (as least in terms of door width).  If there are already three door configurations available, it seems a shame not to offer the original, as depicted in the prototype photo on the YMW site.  I almost ordered the kit based on that photo, but am glad that I inquired about the details before I did.

Pierre,

Any chance of ever doing your masters/cars in O scale?

Big shortage of wood sheathed cars in "The King of Scales"  (insert humor emoticon after that old fifties tag line).
