The only NG Ry that I know of that used full size couplers was the
later year DRGW to more easily mate with the SG. On older couplers
only the knuckle height was different. The knuckle was the same upper
and lower dimension as its hinge on the type D and before. The type E
has an "extended knuckle". To get a type D from a Sergant, saw off
the upper and lower extensions.

Contrary to popular belief, only some narrow gauge railroads used
the 3/4 size couplers; other used full size couplers of the time,
which may have been smaller than the more modern Type E.
