There are many PRCo assignment sheets in the archives.  I gave Ed all that I had some time ago. 
 
I do have roster info here, including the scrap dates for virtually every car.  After the 1954 strike there were a handful of lowfloors kept for two more years.  The last were scrapped in 8/56.  As for the two cars specifically asked about, 4366 went to storage 5/27/53 and was scrapped at Ingram 7/23/53.  4393 went to storage 12/6/53 and was scrapped at Ingram 5/18/56.  Of the various 4350 series cars the only ones that lasted until 1956 were 4373, 4388, and 4393-4399.  Of course all of those were “high speed” cars, so converted in 1941 according to PRCo ledgers.  All the rest were gone by late 1953.
