Jerry Day would be the best source on this issue. It took a fair number of years for the process to occur. I know a fair number of MOW equipment pieces never got painted in gray before being scrapped. From April 1941 until March of 1944, rotary OY sat unused in the Chama yard. I doubt that A.E. Perlman would allow painters to be sent to Chama, so, while I can't prove it, I strongly suspect the OY remained red until the spring or summer of 1944.
