The doors in the photos that I have all appear to be silver/aluminium as 
opposed to white.  However, none of the cars are 
particularly clean so they could be dirty doors!

As regards the door sizes, the XM-4B and XML-11/XM-4C were both equipped with 
8' (with grain access door) and 6' plugs.

126 XML-11's (and may be more) were reclassified as XM-4C's some time after 
1967, but I don't know exactly when - any offers. The 
only visible external difference I've found is in the classification stencil to 
the right of the doors.
