Okay, I am real curious about the seats in 0402. DRGW 0578 has the same type and I hadn't seen the same in pictures of any other caboose. What is the rational?

These cars all had a a lot of changes over the years, and not just the interior. Even though 0578 and 0579 were in the same initial order, there are significant differences that would have been a major effort to change. Like the bolsters and the retaining valve positioning.

It was probably the rebuilds where they jacked up the car number and built a new caboose underneath.
