When US (comma East) used to send planes to the desert or to buyers or back to the lessor, I believe they simply pained over the "US Airways" part. I guess that'd be tough to do in that case of HP livery.

That looks like an old 737 that was probably simply never (or not yet) repainted before heading off to it's new owner.
