MTL coupler set for Atlas NE-6/5

I can't tell from the MTL site which coupler to use. The Atlas caboose has those T-shaped box covers and sits low, I thought there was an underslung MTL to fit that. Or do I need to completely remove the box and body mount an MTL? But that ends up too low, I seem to remember.

Thank you much. I'm not up on all the ins and outs of finding everything available on any company's websites.

Remove the existing coupler pocket with an X-Acto except for the rear wall. Drill and tap #00-90 hole for #2004 coupler in a #2004 coupler box. I wrote an article on this for NSR years ago (Issue #30).

It states this in Mark’s graphic of the MTL conversation instructions above. It appears they are using the same method.
