@ Patalavaca: Crossbar retrofitted...check the enforcements
made to allow the heavier SWL of her cargo gear, that would explain the adding of crossbar and stays..look also
the heavier derricks at front of superstructure at hatch 3.

Several years later, when she was owned by the West Australian government, I saw her several times in NW Oz ports.(And also the unforgettably named vessel 'Westralia'.)
It is interesting to note that a crossbar was retro-fitted to the aft kingposts, as can be seen in this shot:-
