Literature is often not the best place to look for info on how to paint something. Sometimes things were painted in contrasting colors, to make something stand out for a photo op, display, or demonstration. Some stuff was hand-colored and/or hand drawn for literature and can be a bit, or more than a bit off of what was on dealer lots. Sometimes, pre-production equipment was used for photos, and paint schemes were tweaked later before the product was released to the public. If a new unit was used and older parts pulled from stock for showing add-ons or options, or older pictures used for the options, different eras of paint shemes and/or decals can be in the same literature. Other times an item that was available for years woud be shown with an older paint scheme and/or decals from years, or even decades before. Sometimes stuff is in literature that simply never made it to the public. In an IH cultivator parts book, there is a picture of a cultivator on what must be a prototype 300 or 400 tractor, or an HTA or MTA design that never was released, or something else yet. Looks to be a modified H or M with the fuel tank squared off on the rear.

I'm not sure what would be "correct". Someone will chime in. If not, the Wisconsin Historical Society has searchable records on paint schemes.
