Rupert,
Thanks for that.  It certainly suggests that the headlight is post-1937 by a 
few years.
This means the roof modification to the depot must be later still.

  The latest photo I've found of #9903 with the low headlight was 1937 (no 
month shown) when it was the Advanced Denver Zephyr, and 
  the next photo found was 1951.

  I note that #9908 was delivered in about March 1939 with the low headlight. 
Presumably, if the raised headlight was being 
  retro-fitted to Zephyr units, #9908 would have been delivered with one? There 
are plenty of photos taken in about 1940 in Bulletin 
  13 of other Zephyr units with the low headlight.
