Believe there were very small numbers on the rear of tenders from way back - they were centered horizontally, at the bottom of the tank. The practice was changed to large numbers (cab side size), centered both horizontal and vertical, I believe, starting when tender lettering was changed to 'flying'Rio Grande.
