You’re quite correct! When Channel bought up a lot of Continental’s Viscounts in the mid-60s, they changed very little of the livery apart from the titles and registrations. They even kept the same ‘Continental Golden Viscount’ on the fin(of course ‘Continental’ now related to the Continent!).
A very economical and shrewd move and they liked the scheme so much, it continued on to their HS748s, Tridents and BAC 1-11s. Even a Dove and Heron ended up in this smart scheme.
