The most recent photo I've found of #474 is here, taken October 16, 1941. That's a full year before she was shipped off to Alaska, but you can see she doesn't have plow mounts FWIW.

I read somewhere (a Bob Richardson book perhaps?) that they didn't put a plow on her because they had that crazy gondola in Gunnison with the jumbo plow mounted on it, and of course #474 was based out of Gunnison.
