tl;dr - How do I change the legend in dyntools plots?

At the moment, I am trying to compare two .out files which are both saved with the same file name in different folders. The .out files are of the same case with slight differences and therefore have the exact same channels which is the point of the code, to compare the channels with slight differences. My problem is that I cannot seem to find any option to change the legend of the plots. I can plot the files fine, its just that the legend has the same channel data with either an A or a B next to it. There is references at the top of the file as to which folder they came from, however I would like to make this a lot clearer and put it in the legend of the graph itself. I also find, that occasionally the plots are backward with the usual blue plot being printed in red and vice versa. Image of current plot cannot be uploaded due to low karma.

code for those interested (although probably unnecessary:

def plot_out_file(folder=[], outfile='', chans=None):
"""  Plot specific channels from the out file specified and save as subplots on one image.
