And here it is at last! It's believed to be the earliest 'EC' box DD-51, the chassis colour matching the grey of the EF58 and EF66 that were made at the same time. The roof and chassis soon reverted to black, however, and stayed that way for as long as the body was basic orange, i.e. 1997 - when the body became blue.
