No, whilst the balloon is operated by Aerophile the design of the "skin" was done by DLP-I and DLRP themselves.
It was probably just more trouble than it was worth, as raptor says. It left quite a bad difference between the covered area of the balloon too with sun fading, I wonder if they're planning to keep the same balloon for the whole 7 years of the contract? The past 3 years haven't been kind.
