It looks to me, a Hasp, hanging down ? but certainly the white marks resemble chalked numerals in the execution. Any other suggestions welcome.
I don't think it's a doorpull, that looks to be below and vertical, although other Boxcar images show the doorpull as a handle, horizontally along bottom centre of the door. I need to go through my D&RG folder yet, searching out early Boxcar Door hardware.

DPL X-61973 Car door at right rear of the Depot for comparison?
