Very! In addition to that boxed front, I'm intrigued by the rounded window on the front side. Looking closely through the windows, it looks like there's another one used in a window that's further down on the other side. Canibalized odds and ends?

I suspect that the ends were added and that the curved portion covers and houses the mechanism for raising & lowering and "steering" the angle of the sweepers. The cab area above it was probably added as well then and just to give the motorman a better extended view. But that's all conjecture,
