Here's one for you....  http://www.matts-place.com/intermodal/part1/images/stlu1395543f_je.jpg
This style of container post-dates the EL, you would only see the 40' smoothside containers. For modelers, conveniently, the Athearn smoothside 40' container is an exact match, and Microscale makes a great set of decals for them, too....
