It's called the Visage livery.

It fades to grey!
Autofare 3 - the ticket that laughs in the face of contactless!

Doubt it's a mistake, but either way there's far too many different shades of grey & red floating around & it's starting to tell on the existing fleet.

MK3 if it is.

Originally just grey, then added an extra stripe with branding and now no branding and just all over grey in one shade.

certainly looks to be one shade, could be the lighting not being great giving that effect. may be 4700s or any thing older than 2010 should be repainted a single color, limited service life left etc

This is most likely some sort of mistake, or lack of resources. There have been vehicles released from paint in the two tone livery since.
