How about this one? http://gelwood.railfan.net/frt/21893.jpg

You can never make "absolute" statements about most EL freight cars' paint
and lettering, I've discovered. Generally speaking, earlier repaints have
Roman reporting marks, while later ones use the Gothic. Lettering positions
also seemed to be fairly arbitrary, as well as car color (black? white?
red?)...
