The ToF signage was long changed before the C&S built the new Brick Depot at Central.

The OP's image provided(Duckbill) above is the X-11619, from the DPL.

There are more threads on Central available via the SEARCH box.

See Dave Eggleston's excellent take on that scene http://c-sng-discussion-forum.254.s1.nabble.com/Central-City-photo-chronology-exercise-tp10258.html 
Note: those DPL links are history; to view you will have to open the DPL site and import the call numbers yourself.

I have seen a hand-coloured rendition of the ToF but that would have been artistic license by the colouriser. The background could have been White, or even Straw-Yellow.
