Good morning, Don, happy Saturday.
You are correct, that is exactly what they are, prewar post AF Hafner coaches. They came in all sorts of road names under that headline "Overland Flyer" with the exception of the CP one which was under "Canadian Flyer".
As for your dilemma - It's your train, do what you please with it. I've come across lots of these on thEbay for reasonable prices. You may be able to find some junkers for a decent price to grab some parts off of.
