I can't find anything like it in my Koll or Greenberg books. I also searched in Google. Does anybody know what it is? I also have a 4038.2 and included it here for comparison. Hopefully I attached the images correctly.

It probably comes from the little sheet of decals Märklin was delivering along with the 3050 Ae 6/6 locomotives, which allowed people to renumber the engines and give themm another coat of arms if they so liked Other than that, the coach looks good!
