SF didn't start painting their non-hood unit diesels in the blue & yellow scheme until sometime in 1960, so any transition era diesels other than the F-units were in variations of the zebra stripe scheme. There's bunches of them out there; Atlas and Bachmann Spectrum have GP7s and GP9s; Atlas has some really nice FM H16-44 locos with built-in decoders if you're using or thinking of using DCC; Atlas also has S2 switchers in zebra stripe, and Stewart has two Baldwin switchers from that era. Some of these are hard to find in dealers, but most pop up on eBay almost continuously -- I've gotten all my new locos from eBay in the last couple of months (and sold some blue & yellow locos I'm no longer using there to help finance the new ones [:D]),
