What paint scheme were milwaukee road's E8's originally delivered in? Were they always originally painted in the UP yellow colors or did they order them in something else and then paint them over to the yellow?

I have several slides in the gray & orange scheme on E-6, E-7, & DL-109s. Maybe this scheme was present on earlier diesels but not the E-8/9s which were delivered in the early 50s.
