Re: K-27: "Butterfly", "Clamshell" or "Economy" firedoor?

Now I am an even more confused curmudgeon. 
1) What did D&RGW & RGS shop crews call the type of door shown on my model that has one half swinging up from a left-side pivot and the other half swinging down from a right-side pivot?
2) Is this the right type of door for #461, or should I have used the type described in #3, below?? (I based my model on the photos that accompanied the Brewster plans in MR, which were of #464 if my memory is correct. I assumed that all of the K-27's had the same firedoors, different from the K-36's. Per Earl's post, this seems to be wrong.)
3) What do D&RGW & C&TS shop crews call the type of door installed on (most of?) the K-36's, hinged at the top, that has one half swinging to the left and the other half swinging to the right?
Thanks in advance!
