FWIW, there are plenty more examples of 'correct' ACF 3 bay hoppers with similar weathering.
Ex PRR H45s.


(I think they did an Ex EL car at one point..)

Plus early CR Brown schemes

But hey.. just take this


this.


and this...


And let your imagination run wild...

Off the top of my head, I recall Atlas already offered their ACF 5701 with trough hatches decorated as a stand-in for the earlier ACF 5700 in at least one paint scheme (e.g. NYC, PC or CR)...

Penn Central... Which would probably be close enough for 90% of people...

Correct H45 is on the way from Athearn:

MTL's model is the shorter (in length) but taller 4650 cuft Centerflow ordered by NYC and EL (albeit in an earlier phase than the MTL or IMRC models)

An early 4650 would be a most welcome addition to N scale...
