Yet another paint question

I have noticed several different painting schemes on 66, 77 & 88 Oliver Fleetline RC Tractors.

Is there any place to determine the orginal factory painting schemes for these tractors made from 1948-to the mid 50's?

I have one 77 with white rear wheels faded to dingy yellow, and an 88 with red rear wheels and a 66 with white rear wheels and yellow grille.

Question - color of wheels and grilles white vs red. Was it a marketing scheme to make farmers think they neighbors were running the newer SUPER SERIES?

Thinking of painting all mine as white accents to be the odd ball at the shows.

Fleetlines were all red wheels and yellow grilles. Just like Deere A's and B's with a yellow stripe on the side of the hood,it was just something some people did to make the neighbors think they had a newer tractor than what they really had.
