And I agree with you that because there were a number of orders over a span of years, there could have
been differences. The "car cement" applied to roofs seems to have been something of a "fad" that faded after
a period of time. They must have noticed that the stuff peeled off pretty quickly. I am reminded of the plastic
roof material that was popular with some American automobiles in the 1960's!

I agree with you about the roof, but I don’t see black on the underframe. How do we differentiate between steam era soot and car cement in a black and white photo?

In my opinion this car, built 12-48, has a black roof.
