Chris,
Do you know the gauge and which railway the car operated on? The car appears to be 22' or 24' in length.

The car has an American car builder look, except for the buffers and coupler chain. I assume the 3 top hatches are for loading ice, but why have one in the center of the car when ice could be loaded through the doors. That would seem to indicate that the car made long runs and needed to be re-iced in transit without opening the sealed doors.
Dave
