Remember that many older units got the black/yellow scheme.

The only units to be delivered in the B/Y scheme were the C424s. The next orders of GP35s and U25Bs delivered in Sept. 1964 were painted in the GMY scheme. Around this time, units were SLOWLY repainted into GMY, but some lasted into 1970.
