The cab curved out here and was fitted with a chrome engine cooling vent. This can be seen clearly on the engine on the right between the front door and the middle window. There was usually also a 12" chrome strip at the bottom of the cab front but FDNY had their units built without.

The 500 series numbers were Resv rigs used when there was a storm, re-call of members for riots and other HIGH FIRE TIMES. The one to the left has a 7 as the last number but hard to say what it was.
