Yes. They're colloquially known as "smiley sprinters". It used to just be 1 (or perhaps it was 2?) with the rest painted into the standard grey and red livery, but more seem to have been painted into PTV recently.

Some R&G liveries are still around, although I don't know the exact numbers, I have seen more smiley than non smiley sprinters recently. Though that could just be caused by only a few sets running most services
