I have an Aqua Systems 850T that I've started restoring. (see my original post

I asked for advice about whether it should be restored as a Tydol pump or as I was going to do, a Sunoco pump. The preffered response seemed to be that it would be best to restore it as Tydol, since the 'T' indicates it was made for Tydol. I've been looking for the correct color scheme. Most Tydol pumps that I've seen are a combination of orange/black/white. As I started blasting the face surround it was obvious that it was orange originally. It had been repainted red. The sides on this pump look like they were originally a medium green. It does not appear that any other color was under the green. Does anyone know if this is an original combination? I was thinking of doing the doors and face surrounds in orange with white or black sides and the 'hat' in black. Comments would be appreciated.
