One thing I've noticed looking at PRR coal gons, is they have a small iron strap along the top of the sides.  This is an obvious enhancement to prevent the top board from getting badly dinged up.  Looking at the prototype photos here, I don't see this, but on the PRR cars, you have to look very carefully at the prototype to capture that detail.
