Marshall,
Thanks for the response.
My post was probably not clear. I am not asking about the 2 single
red stripes found on the upper and lower sides of the E7/E8/E9 paint
scheme (I have not seen nor expect photos of these side stripes on
E5's). I am asking about E5 units with the red three horizontal nose
stripes surrounding the headlight (i.e, window stripes - meant to
simmulate shovelnose windows) that do not have the 2 triangular red
nose patches on either side of the Mars light (i.e., grill/louver
stripes - meant to simulate shovelnose grill on the nose of E units).
Thanks,
Bill H.
