Since the units were converted to 1800-series freight-only units right around the time that the cigar-band scheme was being introduced,
  • 3500 > 1874: 1/1959
  • 3501 > 1875: 12/1958
  • 3502 > retired/sold to EMD 5/1961
  • 3503> 1877: 2/1961
it's probably unlikely that they would have been repainted while still carrying 3500-series numbers. I can't find any photos of them after being converted, either, though.
