Here's the photo Dave alluded to from 'Narrow Gauge Country' page 102 (Sept. 12, 1946 - Richardson). A wonderful book if you can find it.
So William, at least one other 6500 was equipped (at least temporarily) with the swivel plate. Looks to me like the same bolster off the standard gauge cars the 6500s were cut down from, just flipped and centered, bolted to the side frames. Mother necessity once again.
