As this is China, it is possible that there is variation in color between different provinces.

Also, I wouldn't be surprised if the Trent was left in its original colors.

Some things to consider.

Thanks lads found them on the lifeboats 24-7 site the only difference is the two lines on the hull sides are missing, looking at other lifeboats it looks as they leave them in the colours they get them in Thanks again Yours Scout
