I noticed a few listings on ebay for Rivarossi (ex-Lima) BLS coaches in the Golden Pass livery. What is interesting is that only the Salon Bleu (3727) coach is the same as the one that I have. The two first class coaches (3726) and the second class coach (3728) in the photos have a blue colour.
Did Rivarossi release these models with incorrect livery and then reissue them with the correct livery (like mine)?

This is what my coaches look like:

Any thoughts/insights?

I was able to learn through one of the German forums that these models may have been delivered to Rivarossi or the Swiss distributor with these incorrect colours and that the models were repainted in the correct colours, leaving a few floating around in this strange livery. I will have to examine the interior of one of my coaches to see if there may be traces of this blue remaining.
