More engine colour questions

I know the engine on my 49 F3 is supposed to be red (at least as far as I can make out) but what colour were the sump and intake manifold? I'm going to buy the engine paint tomorrow and paint it over the weekend.

I believe the intake manifolds were red and the oil pan was black (as were the oil bath air filter, generator, fan blade/pulleys, oil filter, and oil fill tube/cap).
