Yes, liveries evolve over time. This one changed at first for visibility/safety reasons. Later there was room for design and branding refinements.

YN2 means the second generation of the yellow nosed version. Versions get rarer over time and thus become of railfan interest. It’s a lot like birders looking for unusual color variations in a bird - adds to the fun.

There’s a pretty good capsule history of it on this page near the bottom:
