I have done some research and found out that the ATSF had 2 TR4A/B Sets numbered 2418AL and 2419AL. I purchased a TR4 set today at a train show and would like to repaint them from their current B&O Scheme into one of these ATSF TR4 sets. They were delivered in 1950 to the ATSF. I model 1955, and would like to incorporate them into my operating scheme. However, I cannot find as delivered photos of these sets. I did find photos of them in October 1967 with yellow on the ends and the main carbody is ATSF Blue. Were these the as delivered scheme instead of the earlier Zebra Scheme?? Any prototype help would be appreciated.
This site is always a good one for odd photos:

The pics are miss-marked as SW9's but the cab numbers you need are correct and were taken in 1967 TR-4's were built between June 1950 and January 1951. Only 15 built 2 for ATSF 2418 & 2419, 5 for BRC 502-506, 2 for C&O 6000 & 6001, and 6 for MILW 2001-2006

I would say that they came in the Blue with yellow ends and not in the Zebra paint job.
