QUOTE: Originally posted by Big_Boy_4005 My guess is that the litho work was done while the metal was flat, but between there and the stamping, it got turned around.
QUOTE: On closer inspection, I see that the windows on the correct side are not symetrical. On a normal car, are they supposed to be arranged with 3 windows toward the cupola end? This would indicate that there was a right and left litho printing, but only a single stamp, since each piece has a side and an end of the car, with two seams on opposite corners. Is the bottom of the car open? Is there any litho on the inside?
