Default train reservations - are we in the same sleeper?

Hi,

I bought some tickets from oebb.at and I just received it in the mail
today. With the SparNight special price that was available, I
requested 2 tickets with a double reservation (or so I think) on train
EN 235 from Vienna to Florence for my girlfriend and I.

On the train ticket, I'm in traincar 410 and seat/place number 066 and
062. Those numbers seem quite far apart. Are we going to be sharing
the same double? A bit worried...

Thanks,

Herbert

Although I couldn't find a seat/bed numbering plan for OBB in a quick glance
at the obvious Web page: http://www.seat61.com/Sleepers.htm
I think there's a very good chance that *all even seat/place numbers* with
the same 'tens' digit are in the same compartment (assuming the plan
conforms to the UIC standard).

Regards,

- Alan (in Brussels, mind the spamtrap)

Yes, 66 and 62 are in the same compartment:


Bed numberation in MU-type sleeping cars (such one is used between
Wien and Roma):

upper 15 16 25 26 35 36 45 46 55 56 65 66
middle 13 14 23 24 33 34 43 44 53 54 63 64
lower 11 12 21 22 31 32 41 42 51 52 61 62



In Double-configuration the lower and the upper bed (which will be
fixed in a position between "middle" and "upper") are used.
