Who knows?   The car may have been repainted every 2-3 years when it was in 
service.... 
I imagine that the original lettering was Gold Leaf...... it might have been 
applied over yellow paint.    Dulux Imitation Gold probably came into play much 
later in the car's life, if at all, as it was a 1940's paint.   Before then 
either Gold Leaf or some carrier mixed with gold powder was most likely used.
I'd get in touch with curators at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania, the B&O 
Museum, the Mid-Continent Railway Museum and the California State Railroad 
Museum as they all have done extensive restoration of wood cars.
