I don't think I've ever seen a DC-6B photo with any sleeper windows... Pan Am only had DC-6As and DC-6Bs
AFAIK....
The DC-6B was available with the same sleeper-transport configurations as the DC-6, but I've only ever seen DC-6B with sleeper transport sections at the rear of the cabin, presumably in 1st class.
If you look at photographs of TAI's DC-6B airliners, you can see two of the small windows for upper berths on each side of the fuselage at the rear of the cabin.
And looking at the October 1, 1957 TAI timetable, on the page showing services all the way to Auckland, NZ, it shows 1st class berths and tourist class (click on the link to view that page).
