I removed the shell and in sunlight the inside is orangeish, while outside is definitely red. So either Lionel/AHM/Pola or the promo company could have repainted them. Then someone rubber stamped them.
Heinz in fact used and branded itself as a "Purveyor of Pure Food Products" as a way to distinguish itself from other food processors of that 1800 era (don't ask, you don't wanna know, I have books published by Heinz describing what when on then.) Heinz led the way to getting the pure food (and later drugs) act past, which didn't hurt that Heinz competition went out of business or were forced to meet new standards.
Thanks to all for decoding a unique car!
