Hello & Welcome to the Forum!

It is my understanding that dealers were quite willing to create sets using available rolling stock to make a sale durring the depression and war years. So it is quite possible that your set may have been one of those sets made up out of stock on hand, rather than an uncataloged set.

Happy Rails!
