Congratulations to the winnning of this auction Gary!
No I haven't been aware of these garage colour-mix-up at all. To be honest I
have even never owned such a garage and not more than 5 H0-cars so far. That is
too far out of the focus of my part of hobby. I like to look at other peoples
collections, but I myself feel more as a model builder. The only thing I am
still collecing is the paperware around the "LEGO® Eisenbahn".
Concerning you question for these garage types: I would dare to bet a fat amount
of money, that the German collector "Legohunter" (Peter Reinartz) surly owns
some of these. He has up to tenthousands of H0-cars as I heard.....
Look at this link for a (very) few examples of his old stuff:
