Owners of Lionel 21" Observation cars.

For those owners who have taken their observation cars apart to add figures, did you notice the mounting points in the bodies are different from the other cars?

I ask because I found when taking my Union Pacific Observation "City of San Fransisco" apart there were no mounts to screw the frame into the body on the rear end. It appears there are screw mounts in the roof that long screws or a threaded adapter was meant to be used but isn't there. Do other cars have these adapters or long screws? Is this setup unique to the UP Excursion cars? 

The only thing holding the body to frame before taking it apart was the excess adhesive used for the windows.

Front end of the car with typical screw mounts in the end bulkheads.

Rear end with screw mounts in the roof.

With the excess glue removed the frame now slides off the body by just picking it up.
