The details in your posting do not allow for anyone to determine which of
the carriages was purchased.

The producers of Day of The Roses matched their cars (as close as they
could) to the 3801 Limited carriages used in the pre-crash sequences. I
would think that the sides of the "studio" cars not facing the cameras were
unaltered and therefore might show the true class and number of the car you
have.

To answer your question some detail of the shell will need to be posted.
Such detail might include number and positioning of windows and doors.
