Yes, cylinder jackets were green too and so were the sheet metal on the air compressors and elesco CF-1 feedwater heater pump. The diamonds on the feedwater heaters were not standard equipment. on freight engines. 638 and 610 got them after retirement when presented to dallas and Ft Worth.
Passenger engines, the 4-8-2 and 4-6-2's were adorned with the with the company diamond and also the diamond was painted on the air compressor shields. Exhibits attached.
When you were firing 610 it a very small diamond on the front saying "610 foundation". No body wanted to give anyone a chance to take the original which was placed back on it after it came back from Southern.
