Mike,
Possible reasons:
1. special order
2. wrong info from BMIHT
3. they found some more Carmine Red and wanted to use it up!! <grin>
Having said that, I show your interior trim colour in the Hundred Registry
records as being red. Is it an orange and red (which is the trim colour scheme
for pre January '56 Carmine Red cars), or a single tone red, more of a blood
red that usually went into the Reno Red cars??

Rich,
My BN2 dated 11 May 1956, according to the Heritage certificate, was
Carmine Red, not Reno Red. Special Order?

While speaking of Hundreds,
there was a change of available colours (interior colours too) that took
place
at the beginning of 1956, half way through BN2 production. Out went
Carmine
Red, which was replaced by Reno Red, which was a darker richer red, with
less
orange to it.
