4-bay smooth side covered hopper

Do any of you know of a Railworks model of a 4-bay smooth side covered hopper (see attachment)? I have some nice prototypes that would look good in modern scenarios.

Recent package from ABStudios has a four chute hopper similar to this.

The Eyein12 5800 hopper has straight vertical sides.

I didn't really look at it. The ABStudios would be a much better match.
