91901 was fully listed in the November 1968 ORER, so it looks like the construction date in the BN book data was correct.

Did all five cars carry similar / identical canopies?

According to the first BN flat car diagram book:

CB&Q 91900 built 1968 Thrall Maxson length 61'9" capacity 70 tons
CB&Q 91901 built 1968 Thrall Maxson length 61'6" capacity 70 tons
CB&Q 91902-91904 built 1969 Thrall Maxson length 61'6" capacity 75 tons 

Strangely, though, the detailed data sheet entries on Data Sheet 86B state:

CB&Q 91900             Built 1968 Lt Wt 59100  Nom 140000 Lengths: Truck Centers - 46'-6"; Over Strikers - 62'-1"; Over Pulling Face - 67'7"; Width - 11'6"
CB&Q 91901-91904  Built 1969 Lt Wt 59100  Nom 140000 Lengths: Truck Centers - 50'-5"; Over Strikers - 62'-9"; Over Pulling Face - 68'3"; Width - 11'6"
