The dim memory of it that I have, Leslie, it looked much the same to me; but I bow to your superior first-hand recollections of GNR matters! -
The latest uploads to the IRRS Flickr albums include a nice selection of 'silver' carriages, as follows: An entire silver train, as far as we can see. Very unusual: https://www.flickr.com/photos/irishrailwayarchive/55585500921 A clean heating van in traffic: https://www.flickr.com/photos/irishrailwayarchive/55585692764 https://www.flickr.com/photos/irishrailwayarchive/55585916420 Some brand new open standards, silver all over, in these trains: https://www.flickr.com/photos/irishrailwayarchive/55585620123 The last carriage in this train is one of the silver composites, again with a silver roof. This didn't last long: https://www.flickr.com/photos/irishrailwayarchive/55585500241 Maybe the same here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/irishrailwayarchive/55585489846 The TPOs were the last carriages to enter traffic in silver, and these photos show that the bogies or axleguards were black, rather than silver as on the earlier vehicles. Also the battery boxes, buffers etc. The roofs were initially all silver, but not for long: https://www.flickr.com/photos/irishrailwayarchive/55585500716 https://www.flickr.com/photos/irishrailwayarchive/55585620023 https://www.flickr.com/photos/irishrailwayarchive/55585620243 https://www.flickr.com/photos/irishrailwayarchive/55585915920 The 800s could haul trains including the silver open standards: https://www.flickr.com/photos/irishrailwayarchive/55585490226 https://www.flickr.com/photos/irishrailwayarchive/55585489331 https://www.flickr.com/photos/irishrailwayarchive/55584460017 -

if my memory serves me right, Richard Ellis-Hobbs, producer of a load of 3D printed vans for me, printed the chassis for his GNR Class JT. @Richard EH - speak up! -
Haha! I haven't looked at the GNR sets in so much detail. One panelled carriage received 'the other place' blue and cream, but I don't think it ever ran in a railcar set. The carriage registers indicate that different through-wiring was required for the GNR and CIE AEC sets. The BUT sets were different again, and needed the UIC-style rubber tube gangways too. I think that once the UTA took over the GNR sets they modified the control system to permit more flexibility of train formations - the UTA was at the forefront of this with the MEDs and was later copied by British Railways.
