I haven't seen the morning ones, but 354 normally has horizon cars and 355 superliners. At least the few times I've seen it in the last couple weeks.

Trains 350 and 355 are the only trains that are assigned superliner cars in Pontiac to Chicago service.

350/355, 352/351, and 354/353 use the same train sets out of Chicago, with 351 and 353 returning the next morning.

Kinda sorta; you are correct on the 350/355 set. 352 turns as 351 which comes back as 354 that same day , which then comes back as 353 the next day. About the only time you will see 351s' equipment come back as 352 and 353/354 is during the holiday rush when they run with the expanded consists and do "hot" turns at CUS--which entail just a quick cleaning and re-stocking of the cafe car.
