if it is an cnl car it could be:

Try in google "CNL Deluxe".

It appears LucWise is referring to EN481, which is a Euronight train operated by ÖBB.
Vagonweb also has pictures of the WLABmz 75-71.4 sleeper carriage used on EN481 - although not anything that shows the deluxe compartment. However, assuming it is the same type of carriage as used on ÖBB's Wien-Köln service, then there are photos on Seat61's 'Cologne to Vienna' page.
To be honest, it doesn't look that different to Citynightline's Comfortline sleepers - but that is quite different to the double-decker ones...

Unless one has a fisheye or one of those super wide angle lenses, it is hard to take a photo inside the CNL sleeper cabins.
The bathroom isn't exactly spacious but it has enough room. Shower stall is furthest away from the corridor. Shower head also doubles as the sink faucet. Toilet by the corridor wall. I think the sink swivels into the shower stall when not in use. There's a safety bar in the shower stall. Use it when the train is in motion so you don't fall out.
The cabin is set up for 3 bunks though generally only two are used. There's bag storage space above the bathroom and above the corridor. There may be some space by the door connecting to the adjacent cabin, but that takes away a seat. If you fold up the top/middle bed and the bottom one, the latter turns into a 3-seat bench. There's a table that folds out for breakfast. The fold down seat by the connecting door is for the 3rd passenger (if any).

Assuming the carriages are basically the same as the Comfortline ones used by CNL (which, judging by the Seat61 photos and YVR Cockroach's description, they are) then according to the CNL carriage layout, the sizes are:
Lower bed: 190cm x 75cm
Middle bed: 190cm x 75cm
Upper beds: 200cm x 65cm
I think if the compartment is in 2-berth configuration, you'd be using the lower and middle berths (not the lower and upper, as would be the case on the WLAB 822 sleepers used in various eastern European countries).

I don't know about this particular sleeper, but on CNL sleepers the passholder upcharge by itself can be booked on line by checking appropriate boxes on the DB website. You don't even need your pass in hand to make the booking, although of course it will be needed on the day of travel.

Would having a Eurail Pass make it any cheaper?
So in my Case i looking for an Railpass for Japan and i see its very expensive.
The problem is the Pass (JP/ EU) are valide whitout any brake so it mean you have no Time to Stay in a City and the Ticket for Local Transport in the City is not include. So in many case the Pass is more expencive than some flight and/ or Advance Booking Tickets.
If you not an hardcore Backpacker you can save more money with normal Tickets and Flight.
