Sometime during WWII, the #42 lost it's hansome Baldwin style smokebox door and grab iron to an obviously homemade flat piece of metal complete with crooked hinges. Was this a result of an accident, or did the old smokebox just rust out?

P.S. The pictures taken in 1941 shown in the other thread here show it with the old smokebox. Later photos show the homemade door.
