Hi John,
As I understand it, the 6500's never had archbars. The 6200's and 6300's had arch bars.
As always, I might not be correct. As I understand it, the SG equipment that the 6500's were built from had the SG truck frames with a new NG truck bolster and NG wheel sets assembled for the NG trucks.
Below is the table I generated:
