Orange Braniff 707 and Japan Airlines DC-8 at LAX, 1967 or 1968

The upper photograph is of an orange Braniff International Airlines 707 at LAX.  This was part of their "The end of the plain plane" campaign where their Electras and 707's and DC-8's were painted bold, solid colors:  orange, yellow, blue, red, green.  Not long before this, Braniff had absorbed Pan American Grace, which flew primarily to South America. 

The lower photograph is of a Japan Airlines DC-8 at the old international terminal at LAX.
