My experience agrees with yours.
The DZ, both versions 1 and 2, was lettered Burlington on its nameboards.
The Burlington trains with train names on the letterboards were California
Zephyr, Empire Builder, North Coast Limited (actually, the letterboards said
Northern Pacific but the train name was displayed with the Monad Logo under the
windows), Nebraska Zephyr and Texas Zephyr.

Subject: [CBQ] DZ and TCZ Passenger Cars
I have been wondering, did the DZ, TCZ, etc carry the train name on the
letter board or did they just have the name "BURLINGTON" on the letter
board? I know Microscale sells decals of the varoius Zephyr names for use on
the letter board, but off all the books and photos I have, only the CZ cars
has the train name on the letter board.
I know the very early NZ had the name on the letter board, but I am
interested if, other than the CZ, did the train name appear on the letter
boards in the late 1940's to 1960's?
