and extra coach most likely won't be ordered by those ( I won't) who want to extend the original PE set. To have the lettering in two different places on cars in the same train would look confusing at best. That's OK though as my original PE set completely fills the stepped shelves reserved for it when I added the PE wood side reefer from last year.

I recall when they first came out some questioning why not produce the cars as depicted in the movie and others saying it isn't a real train anyway who cares. (Superman isn't real yet in the toy aisles he is never dressed in green with a purple cape.) I'd have expected those owning the Polar Express license to require the lettering in the right spot and the colors close. Lionel may get those who have held back to spring for a set now plus those who want a correctly done set.
