The 'O' signified crew compartments for the conductor and the dining/buffet
crew.

An RS had a counter running for most of the length of the carriage, seating
27 diners. The catering crew worked behind the counter. An ABS was an RS
converted to a dining car with 12 tables seating 4 each (similiar to the
Indian-Pacific and Snora diners).
