Most of the Southern cars were refitted most from the same classes of heavyweights, they existed in about any configuration you can imagine. I know at least the early streamlined coaches were built

There's a Jim Crow passenger car (Southern) at the NCTM. It has a large seating area with large restrooms just to each side of it, and a smaller seating section with to single toilets at the one end
