This is a good “sub-thread” with info that can hopefully have value in a next run of E7s.
👍👍👍🙂🙂🙂

Sorry for veering off course a bit - I thought that perhaps there might be more porthole E7 units out there - if there were several roads that had them, then 3rd Rail might be able to justify doing a run of them. I looked through the Railpictures site and found a later shot of KCS #12 with portholes and no lettering on the side: https://www.railpictures.net/photo/407481/

and no MEC E7 shots with portholes - there are, however a ton of E7 shots with all manner of mods (most involving vents added along the carbody - it looks like E7s needed to have alterations to aid with cooling:
