Could be. The N&W had almost 5,000 gondolas with drop doors in several 90000's series in 1940. They had different interior heights and lengths, which is kind of weird... And look

According to the PRRT&HS Gondolas book, those are for mating to subway cars so the cars could be moved in regular trains. They were stenciled "RETURN TO ST. LOUIS CAR CO. IN EAST ST. LOUIS." Richard
