As far as I am aware, the Renowns allocated to service 17 remained in yellow as an exercise to save a few pennies. They were branded as "The Centurion" to cover up any marks left behind by their "Blaydon Racers" branding, in addition to the fact it would have been quite silly to leave them in plain yellow!
Percy Main allocated them to service 9 almost every day, and branding them clearly didn't work out because of that. As such, they had to be repainted and in the long run, more money was spent as a result.
