Case 2 bottom plow colors

I have a Case 2 bottom plow with eagle hitch that we pulled with our '54 VAC. I'm just wondering about the color scheme and paint codes to use to get this plow restored. Also is it possible to find decals for this? I have seen some restored plows with Case decals on the backside of the bottoms.

Here is a pic of my restored 2X16 BER plow.
This is what I was told before I started my project
The main color is Flambeau Red. The entire structure, break away mechanism, and furrow wheel painted "CASE Implement Green." I was little upset when my paint supplier pulled it up in his book and mixed a couple of quarts the tag on the outside of the cans gives a description as John Deere green

The coulters were entirely painted black. Sometimes the coulter mounting brackets were painted to match the frame, and sometimes they were painted to match the coulters. Mine were black. Also, the furrow wheel mounting bracket was painted to match the furrow wheel. Mine did not have the gauge wheel but I was told hub was painted yellow but that was again not confirmed.
AI was also told the moldboards seem to have been originally painted to indicate the type of bottom. The backs of CX bottoms seem to usually be black, the backs of EX bottoms seem to always be green, and the backs of my FS bottoms were originally flambeau. Mine are EX bottoms so they got a coat of green
Also, there were a number of stencils and decals on these plows, with a "CASE" decal placed on the top of the break-away receiver pocket, and a pair of small eagles on the flat iron pieces that attach to the top link. There are also little eagle decals on the back of each EX moldboard on one of my plows. I have yet to find these decals

In the 1952 BER operator's manual, there are pictures which show the stencils. In the manual, "CASE" is stenciled, in white, in large letters on top of the beams and on the front face of the moldboards, and

J.I. CASE CO.
RACINE.WIS.U.S.A.

is stenciled in white on the top of the second-beam-from-the-right.
 
I must note that this is not a BER or BE plow. The BER and BE plows were built somewhat heavier and meant for the S, D, and early hundred-series tractors. It is an E-series plow that was meant to be used with VAC tractors.
That being said, I have not studied these plows in-depth. But from what I have seen, the color scheme should be similar to the BER plows.
 
Here's a few pics of my plow which looks just like yours. It is original other than having 2 different style coulters.







Here's the owners manual if you look there are 2 different "Case" stickers on the plow.
This manual will help you with restoring and setting up the plow and tractor for use.

Here's a pic of the plow on my '52 DC-4. I broke my garden with it.I believe This plow was designed for the VA series, it did not work very well on my DC. I have since found a factory Case service bulletin that recommended cutting the front beam off to keep it from hitting the hydraulic pump on SC/DC tractors. This was a problem for me. I will use it on my VA / 300 series from now on.
