Rupert and Anthony:
 
I have photos of two GS-6 gons in Chinese red, so it's not just a theoretical possibility; the remaining cars underwent a shopping program around the time of the change to Chinese red in 1958-59 and thus were painted in the new color scheme.  They also had an extension of less than a foot added added to the top of their sides to increase their capacity, this apparently done when they were assigned to coke service (not Coke but the high energy fuel made from coal).
