They don't have an "XPT" like appearance.  A Vic will say a GM, CLP or a
CLF looked like an S class.  My money is on a National Rail AN, which
are still in AN Green & Yellow.  The old Clyde's are gradually
reappearing in ASR colors.  GM 44 is now in Orange and Black as are CLP
8 and CLP 14.  How long this goes on for is anyone's guess, after a
brief flurry of repainting at ASR there seems to be have been a bit of
an interregnum.
