They are indeed different according to the TfL Colour Standard at

ELL: Underground orange
NCS S 0585-Y30R; RGB 236,158,0; Web FF 99 00

LO: Overground orange

How do these compare with the colour that was once used to show BR
services on underground maps in the dim and distant past. I recall
having a fold out beck map from about 1989 (the DLR was there, with the
Beckton line shown as "under construction", that should date it), it had
the GNC, W&C and Thameslink core in orange-outline. Not long after, the
BR services changed to thin black outline. All of this is subject to
several years of possibly faulty memory.
