All EB's  were then obliged to operate on

EL, 
and was there a different form for  operation at restricted speed?

You've caught me without a plethora of documents at hand.  Currently  in 
west-central Indiana on business.
 
But, you are correct, the "against the current of traffic" order on EL was  
known as a form D-R order.  Examples shown in the EL rule books (of  which 
I have some for sale).  In order to issue a Form D-R train order, the  block 
had to be "Clear" of all movements.  The limits of the block were  
specified in the D-R order.
 
More details may be had when I return home Friday evening.
