Does anyone know what colour the 6 cylinder 245 motors were originally painted in the late AT4 series Dodge trucks?

I remember the AT4 353 my father bought new in 1968 or 69 had a yellow motor

It is likely Australia followed the American schemes. The Jeep engine reference refers to columns above which I cut out, this list is Chrysler. Interesting that every Chrysler engine from 1924 to early 60's was only one colour - silver.

The old dodge I learnt in had a reddish coloured engine , it could have been a rebuild though

There was a blackish tinge to the head gasket area, especially at the back from memory, was a few years ago now

245's came in various colours in Valiants. I've only seen 225's in dark red and blue.
My very late dodge 300 has a black painted "heavy duty" 245.
I'm curious to find out as well. 245's can't have been in AT4's for more than a couple of years before the D5N came out?
