The original slatted upper sides of the Type XM2 tender's coal bunker were soon replaced by sheet-metal sides.
Some later models of the Type XM2 tender were built new with such sheet-metal upper sides to the coal bunker.
An example is the 1912 version of the tender, as delivered with the SAR Class 5 locomotives in 1912.
