Correct...R-10 car #3210 was the last remaining unit to have dark blue doors and grey side walls right to the end of its service life. Ironically, it was one of the first batch of up to fifteen (more or less) R-10's to repainted with the MTA silver/blue exterior scheme, but did not received with the beige side door/mint green wall interiors though (which was applied to the other cars subsequently).

As for the 3300-series R-10's not being rebuilt because they were all G.E.-equipped, that statement is indeed correct. It was only in the final determination to have 110 W.H. units be overhauled in the plan, and nothing more.
