I found the item that I was thinking of. It is in the appendix to Joe Cunningham's Rapid Transit in Brooklyn."In 1959, a program of rebuilding many AB cars began...One BX set was rebuilt, 2472-4036-2473..."

In trying to relocate this item I found several photos of 4000's with bolt-on numberboards. Since I had only ever seen painted on numbers I had always associated the new numberboards with rebuilding. Apparently the new numberboard project must have been done before rebuilding.
