M-15K used the original underframe from the cars they were rebult from. In 1955 and 1956, they were again rebuilt with new underframes (or at least new center sills) and reclassed to M-15N, NA, and P.

Jim,
At this late date I have to assume you have already settled the question of whether the "B&O wagontop" will be an M-15k or an M-

While these two cars look very similar, and still completely different from anything else, they were nonetheless quite different from each other.
Without looking up the details, I'm not sure if the M-15k had
Duryea
underframes. They were rebuilds of pre-WWOne cars, so their underframes, even if equipped with Duryea, were completely
different
from the M-53. The most visible difference was the appearance of
the
side sills.
