Although its not convenient that the buses with 'every 15 mins' on the side appears on a route that is every 10 mins but...its still a 'Simplicity' branded Versa isn't it, so to save money, they could just leave them like that, have some buses branded with places served by the X35 and some with the places the X36 serves.
With the "SimpliCity" network, one could argue that the appearance of a vehicle branded specifically for the 42 (every 10 minutes) on the 61 (every 15 minutes) does not matter greatly because those timings could reflect the network as a whole - advertising the frequency one of the services in that network holds. I suppose you could say the same about the X35/X36, but if one set of vehicles is going to have both, it's pointless not to do the other set too.
I think the main problem is that, if you removed these (both the Fast Cats and the SimpliCity), the liveries could potentially look rather plain. This would then look cheap, and it wouldn't be worth doing at all.
