Anders Ostlund asked:

The only one I could find was DL&W 662A, which got its EL number in the
attached image taken November 7, 1960. But... I have a photo of it only 3
months later in January 1961 wearing a clean and shiny coat of EL
"passenger" GMY paint. Then it got black/yellow "freight" paint in 1964, to
be replaced again with GMY paint in 1966. Was that initial GMY "passenger"
paint an example of DL&W guys sneaking that paint on? :)

I would just renumber it as in the attached photo. You could plausibly say
it lasted longer than January 1961.... :)
