I know that they are in a 6-bay version, but not a 4 bay....

Exactly what I have in my book. Is Intermountain pulling a Con-Cor???? The only cyl. hoppers GN bought were the 6-bay variety, in aluminum for Grain Loading.
All my 4650's don't look like that... Now if they mixed a pic, somehow, some way, and they are planning on making a 6-bay (which Bowser already does in N), I may buy one or 2.
