I wondered at first if this was converted from a coach or baggage car but the lack of a clerestory roof makes that unlikely. Conversion from a waycar, including the removal of the cupola, seems possible especially as it appears to be riding on wood beam trucks of the type used for waycars.

Rupert - Yes, that must be the road number.  I can make out the "2" and the "5."  I just found two more images in the Flickr Gallery of "stretched" 211239 that lacks a cupola. It has seven windows compared to 209365 that has five windows. Plus, it doesn't look to be as heavily constructed. I've attached the color image:

 

 

Unless Charlie says different, I'd assume 211239 was also originally constructed for use as a drovers car.  It lasted long enough to be painted orange and used as a MOW camp car. Unfortunately, no other data came with the image. The Pullman tourist cars were a cut above these drovers cars - Louis
