The first photo with the loco shows a long scuttle car with side vents (not the bonnet louvres) with short bonnet
The Green car is a short scuttle car with side vents (as above) with long bonnet
The latter red car is a short scuttle car with no side vents and the long bonnet
I thought Louvres were this:

and Side Vents were this:

But I am not an expert so could be wrong

Given the discussion so far are you sure of this ?
I have never seen a louvered short bonnet in Melbourne (no great confirmation of anything) and the early Long bonnet cars apparently did not have louvres ??
