Are those grilles meant for ventilation? If yes, these wagons might be for carrying livestock. Alsonote the super-long road number on the wagon! Looks like somebody's mobile number!

Military use .. the overlapping panels at the end fold over to provide a continuous surface to roll tanks from one end to another

Thats right these are meant for Tanks and other armored vehicles. One can see them in large numbers at Babina stn on NCR. Projected Triangular shaped members also have arrangement for putting metal chains to secure the loads during transit. Also notice these flat cars have 3x2 axles as opposed to usual 2x2 for supporting higher loads.

These are VB wagons, able to carry battle tanks and other heavy vehicles.

found these wagons parked in Naihati yard from April. Offsprings of Jessop or TWL.

The rake is chained to the rails. The profile reminds me of a BOXN wagon with a curved roof.
