I just hope AC haven't done the same 'possible' error that they did with the 707. Perhaps someone could clarify with photo?...
It sure is the same error as done on their ZS-SAE (should have been ZS-EKV)
This 727 was ZS-DYP when it wore these colors.

And before AK jumps in claiming he has that picture proof somewhere in a Chinese drawer...
Here you go with a proof that SBD in delivery colors couldn't have existed:
Attached is a picture of ZS-DYP after it had just been repainted in 1968. The same year it got the new SBD reg assigned.
That's btw the only picture I ever saw showing an 1968 cs with an earlier 1960's registration.
