Title: HG color question

I'm repainting my HG 42 back to the original green. Were any of the parts other than the starter & generator not green originally? In stripping the many coats of paint off of the radiator fan and fan pulley, it looks like it may have originally been painted black, as was the radiator?

Thanks for the help.

I do not know what year your HG is but 1946 and earlier are Cletrac orange.

I believe this is a 1947?...S/N tag is HG42 47GA470. It had been repainted Cat yellow, then some sort of metalic maroon over that. However traces of the original paint (underside of seat, frame rails etc) are the Oliver green.
