I am looking at the Tromba in F part right now...and there aren't notes that would require a Bb trumpet. The lowest note in the part is a concert Ab below the staff. However, there are some weird "divisi" parts in the fourth movement (definitely NOT cues) where none of the pitches are doubled in the other two trumpet parts...and I'm not sure what to make of those...do you normally do this with 4 players and double the F part? If you don't double, does the one player play the top or bottom part?

Again, I may be overthinking this, but damn...why are these parts so confusing?
