If there is any deterioration, I can't find it, I even took the side frames off and looked them over. I suspect it was specific dates and batches of the trucks and sideframes that have the issue, not necessarily the color combinations.
But unless they had unfortunate luck and made a lot of extras with the batches that were defective, wouldn't that correlate pretty well to the decorative scheme?
Considering they don't make spare parts to keep around, it wouldn't seem likely that any would normally be left over to infect a later run after being assembled into the specific item they were manufactured for originally.
Weren't the color combinations each only offered once, or did they repeat some of the early ones later?

The JLC GG-1's probably were manufactured in a number of color schemes in one run.
