Elephant ears were used on a couple roads because they thought they would help smoke issues on engines. It relied on the speed of the engine to divert the air so putting them on drag engines wouldn't work. Evidently it wasn't as effective as thought. The tube across the top of the boiler was and "Elesco" feedwater heater. It used steam to heat the water coming into the boiler. There were several other types of feedwater heaters that were visually different. The Worthington feedwater heater looks like a rectangular box imbedded in the top of the smokebox ahead of the smokestack. A Coffin feedwater heater looks like a large ring that extends out from the face of the smokebox about 2 feet 3/4 the way around the smokebox. Hangy downy thingy's ? Can't tell from your description.
