I believe I recall that the item you're looking for is/was painted gloss grey.
In our Signal Corps unit we had a full classroom set up with C42s for instructional purposes. I can't recall us ever having these items, nor can I recall how the dummy load was set up.
I too searched for ~20 years for one and came to the conclusion that they were unobtanium.
