As for a DEV coach in No. 301 Celtic green livery with Corail style class cartridges, 2nd class light green strip and white doors, there may be some doubt. And yet, it’s plausible. See Le Train Archives de la DEV vol. 1, page 58-59 (fourth coach behind the 9200), and the Loco-Revue forum where Pierre Barbe reports a photo in La Vie du Rail book Encyclopédie des voitures SNCF, page 603.
