BM 33 03

Some (all?) have American flags in left most panel (both sides)
does the dark blue used on some REALLY fade THAT much? (to an almost greenish blue?)
(2013??) era - "Plain blue"
Solid ("Guilford blue"?) blue sides (including fishbelly), ends, door. White lettering. Note this blue tends to fade to a lighter blue-green color
Black (?) underbody
Blue roof (see picture 3305)
Just "required" lettering, no herald
