It depends. In the early days, usually not. The entire lashup (ABA, ABBA,
ABB, ABBBA, whatever) usually got one number. Sometimes with a trailing
letter (301A, 301B, 301C, 301D for example for an ABBA 4 unit set)

Controls of the trailing units ( B, B, A, whatever) would be "MUed"
(Multipe Unit... they're connectors you see on each side of the central
coupler hanging donw) to the lead A.
