The late blocks came with 16, 8, and zero seats...apparently they were dropped over a span of time, completely gone on the late passenger engines. I believe they were kept for truck engines...
All the earlies had 16 seats from the late thirties or so, though I have heard that some 59's produced for service after '49 lost the seats.
