Bill:
The 9765-66 were built as baggage-RPO cars and never had passenger seating. The photo below of the carbody of 9765 shows more clearly that there is not a plated over window at the rear.
Coincidentally, late in its life the 9765's sister car, after being dieselized, was converted into a double-end car and received rear windows for this purpose. The photo below is at West Burlington on October 13, 1956, when the car was waiting to be retired.
Hope this clears up the issue.

Hol,
The photo of the 9765 carbody in Gladstone, appears to have two plated over windows at the rear. Were they originally glass windows with a very small passenger accommodation or was it for the train crew, or maybe they were always plated over from original manufacture.
I know that the cars that were designed for passengers varied in capacity.
