Ron, I would say that your 'stencil boxes' were identification devices and not rear end markers or signalling devices like the 'light houses.' As to the appearance of light houses in the 40s this is not unusual. Particularly in the case of the RGS, equipment wasn't generally modified just to be doing it. Only when a caboose needed a new roof would the light house be removed and that could be ten years. Still there but not used after 1938.
