It is almost certainly the 46921, but it appears the three center numbers are in Roman rather than Block Gothic, meaning they were probably repainted, and the painter probably just used the wrong number. It's a shame we can't see the other numbers on the car.

Subject: [CBQ] Number error?
There is a photo on eBay of a 50’ single sheathed double door auto box car number 48921, except I can find no trace of this number being allocated to such a car. The photo is undated but is post-1958
as it shows the car in the “new” scheme of mineral red with a large “Burlington” spelled out on the side.

.
Being a 50’ single sheathed car, it is an XA-14A/B/C (no end doors) which were numbered from 46500 to 46649 and 46750 to 46999. The only group of cars I can find that ever used number 48921 was
allocated to 150 steel XM-33 and XM-33A cars which were rebuilt in 1967 and renumbered to 47575-48924, and this car is certainly not an XM-33!
