Charlie,
I was looking through the book, Chicago Passenger Trains by Robert P. Olmstead.
On Page 85 there's a pretty good overhead shot of an E5B coupled to an E5A,
where you can see the difference between the two.
It's not a close up that we'd like for detail purposes, but it clearly shows
the difference between the A Unit and the B Unit Radiators. They do look like
they follow the roof contour, nothing more complex than that.
