Your correct with the LO V's back then their old compressors (D3F) were removed and replaced with WABCO D-3's (R44 type)and static converters to charge the batteries (back up). 5466 one of the cars in the fleet back then (now resides up @ B.E.R.A.)still has that compressor unit on the car.Your probably right I am sorry I really never got to witness that. Although, I do remember the R9's in the BMT Eastern Section (KK Line) were also changed out with WABCO D3 compressors (R42 type) back in the 70's--so yes there was a lot of "experimenting" going on.
