What are the chances that the colouring of actual pelicans is bleeding in to the prompt. Seems it could be that?

Doubtful? Without knowing anything about how it was trained, if you google image search "pelican bird" they are predominantly white in color. Though the bill is certainly orange, different shades depending on camera and lighting conditions. The SVG attempt looks more like an attempt at the product photos if you search "pelican case orange".

Or to make it even more tricky, since Pelican cases will float when closed, something like "generate an SVG file of a Pelican bird floating in the ocean next to a Pelican case".
