The pictures with blue and red plating show brioche-machine-knitting with plating yarn in the front slot. The blue example shows how the plating thread in lighter blue covers the main yarn in darker blue.
The scarf was an experiment in several ways. In general you may say the slot next to you covers the knit stitches in either way whether you use single bed or double bed.
To avoid slipping of plating yarn into slot of main yarn I “helped” the threads staying in place with a little construction.

The stitches look a little like two-color-brioche-stitch but only if you look at one side.
But: two-color-brioche-stitch shows color 1 at the knit stitches, color 2 shows in the backgound. On the other side, the color 2 shows at the knit stitches, color 1 shows in the background.

Plating technique on brioche stitch shows always the same color on the knit stitches it’s not invers.
