Any experts know if that’s possible?
Its certainly possible. Sometimes an arlines new name is painted on an aircraft before a full repaint - which after all is expensive.
Its not unknown for engines or weather radars to have a different livery to the rest of the aircraft when a new design is being introduced and there are no parts available in the aircraft's livery.
