Exactly. It looks like the rule about reporting marks ending in "X" for private cars must be a relatively newer one. See the shots of single reefers with the advertising banners.
And I correct myself on the reefers in the overhead shot. I can see now they are lettered "SWIFT" on their sides, just in a different style from the single car pictures added by
