A weird TrackMaster Thomas

This is an interesting one indeed...

Before I continue I will be referring to the "Thomas in a Jam Thomas" model as "TIAJ Thomas", and "Slippy Sodor Thomas" as "SS Thomas".

Now, from the same source the same person has a regular TIAJ Thomas

And the plastic for this Thomas' chassis appears to be darker than the Thomas in question, the one we're figuring out has a more HiT shininess to it

I don't know if that darker chassis should be like that, I don't own a SS Thomas or a TIAJ Thomas. Despite that, I noticed that on Thomas', uhm, I don't know much about real trains but I think they're called side tanks? Sorry if I'm wrong in the name, but on top of the side tanks there's jam on the actual TIAJ model

Which the strange Thomas lacks

Again, I don't own either of these models but it looks like the jam detail on the side tanks is printed on, if that's the case then the strange Thomas is not a TIAJ shell or else it would have the printed jam. It appears to be a SS Thomas shell with incorrect stickers from the factory. SS Thomas with the HiT face is already rare on it's own but I've never seen one with TIAJ stickers. Some SS Thomas' have very obvious blush, and others basically don't have any, explaining why this one has practically no blush. Personally, I think it's a SS Thomas with the incorrect stickers so a factory error, but the funnel's paint not being as shiny as other SS models I've seen is throwing me off. Anyway thanks for reading!
