If I'm understanding the globe CD, this would be the only 16.5" lens. So assuming this is a 100% original globe, then I guess it's silver.

Well there you go then. Red it is!
CD doesn't show that lens in 16.5", so I dont know what that means. Beyond my skill level.

So Dick, is that an original painted globe? Which would answer the OP's question that it should be red.

Jack Sim is one of the Few that seeks permission from pump owners to use THEIR Image[s] in his books!
I've had it soo long, I don't remember when/where I bought it!
Because the snap rings are not painted, Probably NOT.
