MT Weathered Covered Hoppers for October

I found prototype photos that are in my modeling era for all five of the weathered/graffiti covered hoppers.  Here is a link to the announcement.

And here are the links to the prototype photos.

There is a discrepancy with the stated road number, SIRX 475072, and the road number on the model, SIRX 475500.   :?

Edit:  It looks like neither of the SIRX models match the road numbers MT describes for the models.  MT 099 44 081 states it is SIRX 475500, but the model shown for that SKU is SIRX 475068.  And, MT 099 44 340 states that it is for SIRX 475072, but the model shown for that SKU is SIRX 475500.  No big deal since I plan to purchase both models.   :D
