Does anyone have any pictures of these locomotives when they got retired? I know that I have only seen one with the DL109 but none with the others,

Personally no, Cavanaugh's book has some shots of a Hunter Green DL(0738) in storage and the post retirement Orange DL-109 (PP716) with some other white-lined power, most of the published shots of retired NH power I've seen focus on the older steam, motors and "experimentals"
Interesting question; why the interest in the condemned shots? My understanding was the PA's were gobbled up straight away (written off along with the CPA-16 FM's) from service as trade-ins or scrap as the dual purpose roadswitchers were delivered in the late fifties and didn't linger at the Cedar Hill deadline like the motors and DL's. I do recall a sad photo of a cut-up EP-5 "at the torch" in a railfan mag though circa early seventies, but can't recall the location of the crime or the exact periodical(might have been Trains.) :(

Not quite true. I've got a builder's plate from PA-1 0766 (circa 1964) while it sat on the deadline across from New Haven Union Station.

George Elwood's "Fallen Flags" railphoto site has some pictures of Dl-109 in a scrapyard.
