WOT turtle roof baggage cars question

I am bashing a CNR baggage car and have been mildly surprised to find that the otherwise excellent Wheels of Time 60' bagagge car has five foot doors..... while my prototype has an eight foot double door and a single six foor door and I don't expect WOT to have modeled my car specifically; it seems odd to have a car with five foot doors. Does anyone know the prototype they chose; were there a lot of five foor doors used in baggage cars of this kind/era and why would the six foot door, which seems more common to me was not chosen.

Model railroading isn't saving my life, but it's providing me moments of joy not normally associated with my current situation..... Train are good!

I'm thinking Illinois Central, but that's without references handy.

And ACL possibly ... but as with Mike, that's off the top of my head without reviewing references.

Go directly to the source (WOT) and ask.  I've gotten quick responses of my queries to them.
