Looking for 65' mill gons LV 34000-34049 (ex-PRR G26)

Folks,

I'm looking for a photograph of any kind of a 65' mill gon from Lehigh Valley's 34000-34049 series.  LV acquired these 50 cars from the Pennsy in 1934, from the G26 series.  Even though LV used the cars in revenue service deep into the 1960s, it seems that photos of them are a rarity at best.  If anyone has knowledge of any existing photos, or lettering diagrams, or any information of any sort, I would be appreciative.  Thanks.

A quick check came up with this really nice color shot on the Fallen Flags site.
The photo was shot in Allentown Pa. 3/24/1987

Thanks guys, but I'm looking specifically for the 34000-49 series that the LV purchased from the PRR in (I believe) 1934.  Photos are tough to come by apparently, as are stenciling specs, so I'm hoping someone has some documentation so I can verify that I've got the lettering layout correct.
