I left some marking plates unmounted because their implantation is unclear. The wheels are ⌀ 11 instead of 10.6 (920 real).
See the Forum Loco-Revue Quels types de wagons, where it is talked a lot about coil transport.
New number proposed in 2014: 31 87 427 2 220-6, with moulded bogies, under reference 67539.
Modifications
⌀ 10.4 wheels.
History
This is the UIC/ORE wagon studied on the basis
of the French Sls
wagon, with a modification of the chassis to increase the load
on the central cradle from 38 to 45 t. Source Fa57 on the Loco-Revue forum. 
Wagon built by Arbel in 1670 units from 1976 to 1981. It has five cradles and twelve wedging arms. Source : Encyclopédie des wagons.
