Balloon stacks on DRGW 169

I am wondering about the history of the balloon stacks on DRGW 169 (the one on display in Alamosa)
It currently has a very tall balloon stack as shown here
From Jeff Terry's flicker account.
However in most of its service life it had a short straight stack
from drgw.net
from friendsof169.com
It did have a shorter balloon stack for some of its life, probably for the 1939 world's fair as shown here
from the denver public library's western history collection
Was the ugly (in my opinion) tall balloon stack added after she was donated to Alamosa?
