I would have to agree with Cousin Dirk. I am sure there were some narrow gauge engines that had the green boiler jackets at various times, but I do not believe that it was wide spread on the narrow gauge. It isn’t' clear, other than the obvious exceptions in later years (489, 499, 340 and apparently 318) what locomotives had them. I wouldn't hang my hat on DRGW standards. In my time working on and re-building the narrow gauge engines in Durango that were inherited from the DRGW, the DRGW standards were loosely followed at best, if at all. It was usually the path of least resistance when it came to maintenance and cosmetics.

Not a fan of the green on the narrow gauge.
