James,

the lettering of the 174 is the 1910-23 period (give or take), the last passenger lettering scheme before the DENVER & RIO GRANDE WESTERN was spelt out in full on the tendersides.

So given that this turnout was most likely early teens pre WW1 (1914) and the financial troubles of the later half of that decade, my question would be, would the polished jacket be of russia iron, that late?
