Hmm, the 833/4022 has worn:

* ERIE 2-tone (like Randy Brown pointed out, only 820-823 had the
odd-looking "low wings" when delivered, and they didn't last long)
* ERIE/EL transition 2-tone (EL diamond on nose, "ERIE LACKAWANNA" box decal
right behind the cab)
* EL GMY with Roman lettering below the band
* EL GMY with Gothic lettering within the band
* EL GMY with CR patch lettering as CR 4022
* CR 4022 in blue paint
* CR 4022 in Pullman Green paint

I count seven schemes there?
