I just checked, and both the Alliance and turian cruisers on the Starships page - which have their screenshots taken from the Battle of the Citadel - have red trimming. Looks like a definite, if fairly insignificant, retcon.

From what I hear, there were some odd things going on with the visual department and that cutscene anyway - the Alliance cruiser model was originally intended as the Alliance dreadnought, but the visuals team put in way too many of them. Same thing with all of the missiles.
