As fast as things went to Hell during the first stages of the outbreak, I have a hard time believing that people would be taking the time to re-paint helicopters. Unless there was some sort of cover up related to the origins of the outbreak.
But I'm more inclined to take the USCG markings at face value and believe that there was a rescue station at LAX similar to the one that was at The Colony early on and things just went to hell. This all is starting to make me wonder where the survivors who were rescued from those stations were taken though. Is there a "safe zone" somewhere where those lucky enough to catch a ride were taken? And if so how will they come into play later on?
