Yellow end CR GE51D gon?

Looking at the new BLMA CR gon and would like to convert it into a yellow end MOW car.  Am I correct in assuming that the car became this series:

Any other pointers?

Those don't look to be the same car.

Non-Drop ends (so different brake wheel), rivets and the lack of the car structure around the coupler pocket are some differences.

There are actually a couple folks trying to track down pics of them with yellow ends, with no luck so far.

The photo Jason located is a winner.  I have a photo of the same car.  It's original road number is: CR 521024.  I already have the number removed off one of my duplicate cars for a sixth road number.  Thank you.

The one Jason found is the only one I could find as well this last week. All others were 780xxx series gray MOW cars.
