Just to explain what these colours are.
Danish steam engines had chimney-bands (skorstensbånd), which marked whom it
belonged to. The one we see here is the state railways (red-white-red,
Danish flag) DSB, but also other state-related railways used this one (e.g.
DBJ, Railway on Bornholm, which was basically state owned).
32 private railways use the opposite, white-red-white, 18 other private
railways had their own makrs where red and white are common colours.
About 40 private railways did not use chimney-bands.
On Knud's pages you can see it:

Hard to see, but this one is a state railway too (knud's too)
