Were any of the FEF-3's painted with the silver/gray lettering and stripes rather than the yellow? Or has Lionel only done yellow?

I think that "all new" must refer to the electronics in this model as (a) that's what I understood Mike Reagan to say in the Notch 6 podcast and (b) you could not realistically expect Lionel to do all new loco/tender shells when they have recent tooling to 'recycle' essentially by providing a steam whistle opening as they have done with other steamers.

I stand to be corrected but I don't think that Lionel has done the gray and silver version of this engine (or at least not in the first Legacy issue any more than in this new one). On the other hand I believe MTH has done it in both O and HO.
