Saddleback Flat Cars

SP's assigned a small number of flat cars to saddle back loading to transport truck tractors with the lead axle of each truck trailing truck resting on the rear of each leading truck. This allowed more trucks to be carried on a flat than merely lining them up back to back. Any help with identifying which class these cars were assigned would be greatly appreciated.
