<<<How do you know that they are Merchants Despatch cars when they have
NYC (or CR, CSX, NS etc.) reporting marks? 
  Is the roadname/owner name actually spelled out on these flats?

Lon:
The old PC/MDT flats are easy to spot, very difficult to get the
numbers.
They are unique in design.

I have a link to CR Cyc. for a similar car. 
http://crcyc.railfan.net/crrs/flat/photos/cr725337.jpg

This car is in CR maroon, just picture an MDT car in PC green.

As you can see, there is only a small area for a logo on the side. It
has a rectangle w/ MDT in it.
The CR marks and number is on the side sill under the deck. Very
difficult to see.

If it is green and difficult to figure out, it's one of 'em.
