It would seem this line had more than one color scheme. I saw a variation of this color scheme, and also a couple of different schemes in black. Nice picture and appreciate you sharing them.

None of D&M's diesels were painted black, a very dark green yes.
D&M RS-2 469 had 4 paint schemes. As built in 1946 it was painted gray with a maroon roof and side stripe, see photo Id 422592. In 1966-67 the D&M units were repainted into this simplified scheme with out the side stripe. In 1979 the D&M rebuilt 469 and painted it dark green with a gold oval and red numbers, see photo Id 318203. The paint on 469 did not wear well and it was again repainted in late 1988 or early 1989, see photo Id 422690.
