It is likely that is about the time IH stopped using primer. IH 50 was alkyd (synthetic) enamel, and could be used without primer (not saying that it should have been, but IH did it that way). But, I am not sure what the gray paint was. I believe that alkyd enamel was developed in the 30's, perhaps the low quality of the gray paint was due to some other formulation. Alkyd enamel is still being used, and is usually the "IH red" sold in farm stores. IH 2150 currently sold by Case-IH is an "acrylic modified" alkyd enamel. The red paint on the wheels prior to Nov, 1936 was likely a varnish of some sort. The inside of castings are sealed with glyptal?, you say it looked the same inside and out -- could be.
