Richfield Building caryatids

Along with the recent discovery of a long-hidden Richfield angel, these two caryatid worshipers also came to light. The prostrate figures are male and female, holding bowls of offerings to the angels situated a few stories above them. To my knowledge, these are the only ones still in existence. I'd really like to know if any more of these Richfield caryatids survived the building's demolition in 1968.
