Derrell,
This car does have a lot of the features like #306 had.

I took the liberty of attempting to show what I see as the Journalboxes, Wheel and Stepboard,  I doubt what you see as a "Hose", it is too perfect of a part-circle compared as to a parabola formed by a drooping hose.    An airhose such as the train airline wouldn't be long enough and the "Monkeytail" as you call it should be on the other end, wouldn't be permitted to allowed to drag that close to the rail.   The shadows of a tree inside the car screams doctored pic, so the rear wheel at the rail got masked out.
 
Did anyone else notice the MarkerLamp and Brakeman's Lantern on the Cupola roof?  Forward window in the Cupola is open.

Can we see the original picture without B.V. in the background?  

Just my interpretation.  Fire away!
