My guess is that they wanted something sufficiently different to
indicate different services, but sufficiently similar to merge them at
a later date.


I think there's a case for keeping them seperate. The use of shades of
orange suggests they're part of the same network, but it would ensure
that noone would believe they can get a direct train from, say, New
Cross to Hampstead Heath.
