Speaking of K4 tenders, were any K4's equipped with "coast-to-coast" tenders, even temporarily?

Yes, in the mid 1930's ten K4s were equipped with them.

The above linked picture shows, what I think is the large tender that is being referenced as "a Cost-to-Coast' Tender. Is this the correct tender?

The following lin has pictures of the Long Distance Tenders fitted to the K-4s (10) so they could run longer distances with stopping was done in mid 1930's.
