I just uploaded a series of photos and, after taking a close look at them
myself, I'm actually confused now as to the color scheme we're talking
about!



My guess would be that the SPS engine bell was made of some type of
EXTREMELY light weight and fragile material, which is why it was almost
always kept under a protective cover pre-flight. The only known flight
ready CSM that I'm aware of in existence is the Skylab Rescue CSM at the KSC
Visitor Center, so I threw in some pics of it, too.



My advice is that y'all make up your own minds as to how to depict this
particular piece of hardware.
