I wouldn't go by car folio drawings for this kind of detail.  I looked at some 700 series drawings from the mid teens a week ago at Denver Public Library and don'e recall seeing this feature.  However, my search was for different cars.

I've seen many folio drawings for 1000, 1500 and 9200 class gondolas issued in the teens and early 20's before rebuilding showing 5 boards, 50" interior height, when the cars in fact were 4 board, 40" interior height.  Only the 2900 class, 26 cars, were 5 board, 50" interior height.

I have a drawing from 1915 showing details for the 1500 class, 5 boards, 50" interior height.  Didn't happen until 1927/1928.
