My Greenburg guide says 1 operating and 1 dummy. A 4th body style had 1 operating and 1 manumatic coupler.

I have a 9040 Wheaties boxcar that has 2 operating postwar couplers, but I have no way of knowing if this is origional.  This listing on Ebay states that the 9040 Wheaties boxcar has one operating and one fixed coupler.

Hi Guys

Does anyone know if this car came with only one operating coupler?
