You may want to try to reach out to the Illinois Railway Museum as they have an IT geep that they restored.  They may have all of the information you are looking for on paint scheme time frames.  You could try their Yahoo Group.

Your links are correct for pictures hosted on sites other than ones under your control (i.e. photobucker, picasaweb, etc..)

This site would suggest sometime around 1970.

Possibly with the delivery of the SD-39s in 1969?

Hope this helps a bit.

If you lend someone $20, and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

The one on top was the later scheme, not the one on the bottom.

It says in the photo caption that the Atlas scheme was adopted on the GP's in 1971....
