I  believe that's the newer rebuilt version.
Yes, as built, without pass through doors nor end platforms -- mostly after
  the arrival of the first of the "Modern" O&W steam engines..........ca.
1908-1910.

I want  the one with the open platforms on the end with doorways. No roof
walk.
There's a diagram / plan drawn by Chuck Yungurth in the September 1963 RMC.
  He drew both version -- at one-half the car each in this plan. The
Carstens Plan  Book diagram / plan used only the portion that shows the later
car.

I'll  join the historical society, so I can see the model Indian  built.
I've built both the 42' and 47' versions, the latter being the cars that
had a single ice bunker at one end. There are few images of these, especially
  the car tops -- but one car (No. 1025) derailed in the accident at the
Federal  Creosote Plant switch in Livingston Manor in May 1929 and the roof top
is  clearly visible.  This accident appears as a fairly common image.
Wakefield used it in his "To the Mountains by Rail" and it also has been printed
  as an image on a "Real Post Card."
