Thanks, Louis.  That tender puts me in mind of Walther's "Oscar" and  
"Piker" cars.  ;-)

Bob - I do not know (doubtful any records exist, either), but I'd  
speculate that since inside-connection was considered archaic in US steam  
locomotive design by that time, No. 9 was converted to conventional  
outside-connection. It almost certainly would've received a standard full  size 
tender, too.

Interesting!  I wonder if No. 9 retained the inside drive in the  1864-65 
rebuild.  Or was the photo taken after the rebuild?
