Here are some other picture references:

Pioneer Zephyr with twin headlight in 1954 (20th anniversary photo, Diesels
West, p. 69)

Sam Houston Zephyr with single headlight in March 1948 (Everywhere West, p.
137)

Afternoon Twin Zephyr with twin headlight in 1949 and the second Twin Cities
Zephyr in 1945 (Everywhere West, p. 51, 66)

9904 in suburban service with twin headlight in 1948 (Burlington in
Transition, p. 144)

Denver Zephyr with twin headlight in 1943 (Everywhere West, p. 47)

Denver Zephyr (Silver Knight) with twin headlight in 1940 (Burlington in
Transition, p. 55)

Denver Zephyr with single headlight in 1936 (Everywhere West, p. 46)

Denver Zephyr (Silver Knight) with single headlight in 1939 (Burlington in
Transition, p. 52)

Twin Cities Zephyr with twin headlight in 1949 (Burlington in Transition, p.
54)

Mark Twain Zephyr (9903) with twin headlight in 1955 (Everywhere West, p.
44)

9908 with single headlight in 1940 (Burlington in Transition, p. 145)

9904 with single headlight in 1938 (Burlington in Transition, p. 146)

That covers only three books, and the Mark Twain Zephyr was shown only once.
>From these books, the latest single headlight was on the Sam Houston Zephyr
in 1948, and the earliest twin headlight was on the Denver Zephyr in 1940.

I've got five more books to look at, so maybe the Mark Twain Zephyr will be
better represented elsewhere.

Looking at the photos in just Bulletin 13, it is evident that retro-fitting
of the raised headlight assembly was phased in over many 
years.  The earliest photo of the raised headlight is on page 38 and depicts
#9907 Silver Knight in June 1940 handling the 
Exposition Flyer, whilst the latest photo of the lower headlight is #9902 in
July 1945 (page 35).
