1955 Dodge Custom Royal

Anyone have an idea of the original paint color/scheme on the Super Red Ram?

The top half of the engine is obviously a silver color, however I’m unsure if the oil pan was also silver?

Here is what I have on 50's MoPar V8 engine color:

 

All early V8 double-single rocker shaft engines, 1951-1960, silver with black accessories.
Except - All early hi-performance engines 1955-1960, silver with black accessories, gold valve covers, gold air cleaners, Plymouth Fury, Chrysler 300, Dsoto Adventurer, Dodge d-500.
Except - 1955-1956 Plymouth 241-260-270 cu. in. V8, silver with black accessories, red valve covers, yellow air cleaner (hi-fire engine).

 

Based on this, all the engine, including the oil pan would be silver.  All bolt on accessories are black.  Even the water pump bypass hose would be painted as it was installed with the water pump before the engine was painted.
