5323 is the first Mercedes Citaro in the fleet to be repainted into the new corporate livery - so no is the answer to your question!
The reason why it hasn't been repainted for the Durham Diamond is not out of a lack of respect at all... There are reasons why it hasn't been done, but one of the main reasons is that 5323 is a spare Euro 5 vehicle for Riverside. Until 5292 returns to service, Riverside would gain float 4896 (Euro 2). This would not be practical, when Riverside has a large number of contracts stipulating the use of a Euro 5 vehicle on evenings/Sundays.
