Several of the O3 mikes had Coffin FWH's. Check out engine 5320 of Corbin's 
book on page 117. It says four of this class received this type of FWH but 
that they were later removed. The authors also mention that "other" roads 
Coffin FWH's were put inside the smokebox and were less conspicuous.
The text on page 115 backs up what Bill has said about the use of the 
extended smokeboxes on Lines West engines for burning either lignite or 
bituminous coal.
