According to the catalog, they will have the rounded points.  4458 shows as delivered Southern Pacific Lines while 4459 shows the later Southern Pacific Billboard.

However there is a conflict in the catalog as next to the pictures these show to be whistle forward models and will have dynamo steam instead of whistle steam.  In the description though they are said to have whistle steam, which means whistle near the back as delivered.

Well, THAT sure needs to be clarified, as NONE of the SP semi-streamlined 4-8-4s EVER had the steam whistle mounted forward next to the exhaust stack.

I do also note on the vision features page under dynamo/whistle steam it states only the GS4 has the dynamo steam and on the GS4 page this is for 4449 models (excursion, AFT, BNSF, etc).
