I think I will just let you get on with the good work and try to figure out in my mind how this argument rages all over the world 80 years later about colours and schemes in the face of thousands of plain written standards, regulations and policies.
The rules are there for all to see, millions of production vehicles were painted "to the rules", hundreds of thousands are still with us and nobody can gather enough supporters to gain a worldwide consensus on what actually existed.
It just seems to me the standards were far wider than we would admit existed, the variations getting wider and wider as vehicles reached service and the adherence to every change by operators far less rigorous than we care to admit.
I don't think there will ever be a clear single answer on actually applied colours.
I think you should keep searching and getting everyone's ideas but should always be open to even anecdotal comment. Hundreds of missing body murderers are in jail convicted - quite rightly - on circumstantial evidence. As they say "Science without discussion is merely propaganda"
