When viewing the image on the Denver Public Library site, I zoomed in on the tenders and found some interesting items.
The 411's tender has the large numbers. These are faint as we've seen in some other photos. This could be because of dirt, smoke, etc. as surmised or maybe the B&W film is not sensitive to the particular color.
The tender from the 169 appears to have stripping on its side. Not enough is shown to see what the lettering was.
