Yes there was a red/yellow. Those are both warbonnets. The distinguishing
characteristic of the warbonnet scheme is (according to ATSF historians,
writing before you were born) the shape of the demarcation between the front
color and the rest of unit color, not the colors used, nor whether the
colors are separated with stripes.
So you're certainly entitled to the opinion that those schemes aren't
warbonnets, but it's not an opinion that's generally held.
