I was under the impression that these two companies produced accurate scale

and more confusing.
Hi Scott, Welcome to S scale.
No great mystery once you look at the big picture. SHS and AM models are great
models as they come but railroads had many variations of similar cars so we
customize the models to make them better fit our visions. It might be changing
steps or roofs or whatever but it's done for fun not from necessity, the cars
work fine as they come. It's not just an S thing to modify cars, all scales do
it, the HO and N guys have more choices to start with so might need to make
fewer changes overall but they always find something to keep them busy.
As you get more modeling experience you will probably start looking at
prototype photos of cars similar to your model cars with an eye toward changing
something on some of them....DaveBranum
