Ah, I knew that Topps would airbrush the traded players' caps; I just thought that the images in the vault were the unaltered ones. I'll be on the lookout from now on. (And thanks to BigYaz for that interesting article about the Astros' legal issues.)

Back to the images, it seems that the only picture on this site of Lomas Edgar "Ed" (or "Gar", as Brosnan calls him in his books) Bailey in a red Reds cap (i.e., pre-1957 and the white caps) is a profile shot. Allow me to offer a better look at Bailey with traditional Cincy headgear (as well as a facepack-sized edit). The image was used for his 1957 Topps card.
