Casey,

That color is prototypical of the Grande. It varied from time to time some had a bit darker color, but I have seen where many had the bright silver smoke box as well. It may have depended on paint supplies or whatever shop did the paint job. If you have some books on the D&RGW look at the color of the smokeboxes and you can see some of the variations.
