Who made this box car?

My eagle eyed wife found this Heinz box car at a train show, but darned if I can identify who made it.  Sure looks alot like a Lionel el-cheapo starter set car by the couplers and trucks, but there is no manufacturer marks or numbers anywhere inside or outside the shell, other than the rubber stamping (says car inspected 1972 in fine print.)  Wife thought someone might have repainted and decaled, but I can't see decal shine or edges.  Shell ends are held onto the frame by clinch snaps, no screws except to secure trucks to frame.  This might be a common starter set car I haven't seen in any Lionel catalog, but never the less, another great find (for me at least) to add to my Heinz car collection

Here are pictures.
