Interfrigo reefers registered in Chiasso

[47137]

I have two model reefers by Acme, photos below. They depict an Italian prototype, built to the British loading gauge, carrying the international ferry symbol, and registered to a location in Switzerland.

 

I wonder if we know whether this livery is prototypical, and if so whether the wagons ever operated out of Switzerland? I can find photos of these wagons working in Britain in a white livery (examples by Paul Bartlett), but not in blue.
