This topic was sort of touched upon recently on a separate, unrelated thread.
Basically, I shared a recent picture that I took of GP40PH-2B #4213 in which I made light of the fact that #4213 sports the "non-traditional Disco Striping" paint scheme:

It was then noted by another member that NJT #4205 also sports the same livery:

To my knowledge, no other GP40PH-2B's on NJT's roster have this particular paint scheme, but rather the "traditional Disco Stripes":

Now, to my question....
Does anyone out there with more knowledge than myself know why ONLY these two GP40s sport this certain paint scheme? Why have no others been painted in this fashion?
Thank you in advance!
