KCS SD40-2 Pilot

I'm looking to work up a couple of KCS SD40-2's and looking at the pilot I see they have a different type of plow (for lack of better words).  Is there anyone who knows what they're called?

I seem to recall seeing detail parts of these, but can't remember if they were HO or N or both.
Anyone?

Not sure what they're officially called, but they just look like something to kick rocks or safely stow the air hoses. 

Miniatures by Eric calls his PL-12 a Conrail plow, but I've seen other roads use them as well.

Excellent!
Gonna have to order me a few of those to for the upcoming builds and replace the plows on my other two.

Thank you Brian!
