Re-painting schedules during livery changes?

I noticed the 'Indian red' frames but put it down to muck and a lighting effect. IIPC this tender design is later than the abolition of red framing. The tender being green would not invalidate the G W R lettering. It is after all the correct colour.

I'd assumed it was rust - iron oxide giving a red shade as close to Indian Red as anyone's guess!

A surprising number of smaller locos retained GWR livery for 10 years and more after nationalization. One of the better known was 5801 which was still in pre-1948 livery until withdrawal in 1958  https://www.flickr.com/photos/abermaw/15907699485 seen here at Barmouth in 1958. 7428 kept its GWR livery even longer until withdrawal from Oswestry at the end of October 1962 http://enacademic.com/dic.nsf/enwiki/1064916 seen here at Aberystwyth in 1961. 57xx pannier 7788 still carried GWR on its tanks until at least 1961 and Chris Klein used this photo

as the basis for one of his models.
