Car number 70, looks the same as 73.

Car 73 says new 9-25. The HEINZ VARIETIES does not appear to be outlined in white and the letters skip the bracing on the car. The word COMPANY is not abbreviated on the sides. 6 panel sides.

Car number 80 also has the HEINZ VARIETIES outlined in white with the Z and the I ON the bracing, end lettering is white. The word COMPANY is abbreviated on the sides as CO. 6 panel sides.

Car number 81, same as 80

Car number 84, same as 80.

Car number 115 is pictured in the Freight Car Pictorial by Wayner on page 31. It has steel ends but still wood sides, 8 panels. It clearly has the words HEINZ VARIETIES outlined in white as well as the 57, and the I and T are placed ON the side bracing. Says it was built 10-48, end lettering is white. The word COMPANY is abbreviated on the sides as CO.

Car number 116, same as 115 except placement of the white lettering at the bottom on the side sill.

Car number 117, same as 116 but 4 panel sides.

There is one later steel end car that does have white data lettering, but can't read the car number for sure.

Interestingly, they all seem to have slight variations in the data lettering.
