LMAO!!!!!! I'd like to be a fly on the wall for that exchange...

Great picture Hanno!! What is your best guess what that dark colour is, black or dark grey?

I remember a thin little British pam, dated '42 I think, which stated black and did show that all top surfaces were painted thus in addition to the side pattern. I imagine that there was some variation at the local level, though, so improvising your own scheme is probably apropos.
