The yellow and purple trains were RABDe 8/16 for the Zürich-Rapperswil Gold Coast line. http://www.railfaneurope.net/pix/ch/SBB_CFF_FFS/electric/emu/historic/RABDe8_16/SBB_RABDe816_2001.jpg AFAIK they were not prototypes for the NPZ, but rather a separate series. The NPZ were built a year or two later and unlike the earlier RBe 4/4, the motor unit was developed with only a cab at one end. Unlike the RABe 12/12 (Mirage), the New Pendelzug was designed as a RBDe 4/4 and ABt pilot coach.
Over time, the design mutated (2nd Series) and the blue band widened at the front and rear of the unit, which also became the standard livery for the RBe 540 and corresponding pilot coaches. This is what the second series looked like: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/RBDe_560#/media/Fichier:SBB_RBDe_560_109.jpg
