Hi,
The 2000 series box cars (23' 7") were of two types, standard box cars and ventilated box cars (a.k.a. watermelon cars).
The 4040 MIGHT be a ventilated box car with the ventilated door missing.
I've seen photos of a Gainesville Midland SG box car (taken c1959) with door guides going left and right even though there was only the standard box car door.
