From the IAG Blog:
Delta's people (read managers) have just incorrectly painted this 767-300ER. (Eight aircraft are being converted from domestic to international).
The plane was painted in a special Habitat for Humanity livery for the inaugural flight to Jo'burg. This is because a large Habitat group is apparently on the flight.
Why is the paint job incorrect? Because you need satcom for African ops and this plane does not have the satcom installed. So, Delta has to frantically paint another aircraft with satcom in time for the flight early next month.
As far as we are aware, neither America West nor US Airways have ever mis-painted a plane. Makes you wonder.
