When the rest of the train got painted in 1955 is when the single stripe paint job came into being. That being said there are pic out there, perhaps in one of Scholl's videos of the Memorial Day RMRRC 1955 trip that shows the newly painted single-stripe vestibule cars and the open platform cars still in very shabby looking two-stripe paint. So there had to be a 1-2 year transition period. That being said, the above pics of the entire train freshly painted in one-stripe, might be 1956.
