OK, so I don't have enough info to do two 1902 coal cars in "known" states. Rather than guess a little on both, my current plan is:

Letter the first (4283) exactly as seen in NGP vol VIII, p. 68:
  • central "Colorado Road" herald and road number
  • dimensional data at lower right
  • "C&S" and road number on the sill
The second (4296) will then be back-dated from the known state shown in NGP vol VIII, p. 70:
  • central "Colorado Road" herald and build date
  • dimensional data at lower right
  • "Colorado & Southern" and road number on the sill a la 4071 (Baileys lumber) and 4908 (Kokomo Walsh smelter)
