Calling SPFs -- what diner ran on the 1953 "Pennsy Ltd"?

All I know is it was a lightweight car, which I assume meant modern. I'm wondering if it was one of the D82xR series, which can be bashed out of the KATO UP diner. Or at least close to it.

According to Doug Sweetland's book, here is the LW roster for 1953:

2 D82R
5 D82aR
5 D82bR
5 D82cR
1 D85R
6 D85aR
18 D85cR
16 D85dR
4 D85edR -  coffee shop car, so probably NY commuter
2 D85ad - used for Senators
2 DL85d - used for Congressionals

A total of 66 cars. Probably only 58 for the Pennsylvania Limited service. D85cR/dR are 59% of the roster at the time, so I would probably go with one of those two. All the D82 series is only 29% of the roster.
