(LVRR) LV GLa hoppers?

Sorry for the crossposting.

Did Lehigh Valley have any of what PRR called GLa hoppers?
I ask because Bowser is producing the GLa in HO and N, and
he's looking for info on roadnames and paint schemes.  He
has a line drawing of a GLa in LV livery, numbered 170001,
and the lvrrmodeler hopper page shows hoppers that might be
GLa in the range 16501-20000.

I don't have the photo reference book given, and the
Accurail hopper mentioned is definitely *not* a GLa.

For your information, the GLa is a two-bay, seven-rib,
straight sill, 30'5" IL, 32'3" OL, open hopper with
distinctive heavy end sills. See Bowser's product page at
http://www.bowser-trains.com/hogla.php for photos.

Of course, if he does produce them in N, I'll buy a bunch.
He's kind enough to make them in multiple numbers all at the
same time.

Thanks!
