Charlie,
I suspect that the modifications on the power cars looked like gas-
electric modifications because they were probably done by the same
design engineers and craftsmen that had done modification and repair
work on the gas-electrics. That is the way they knew how to do it and
that is what they were used to; sort of a contribution to a "family"
appearance.
