Default original paint

Recently I have seen a couple of cars advertised as original paint, never looked at the cars in person, however, one car had the bracket that holds the dash in place at the hinge pillar area painted body color and the other it was interior color. Just curious as to which one is correct.

The dash end tabs color depending on the exterior and interior color combo. If the colors were the same then the tab was interior color with black rivets. If the interior color was different then the tab was painted exterior color

Original white paint. Dash tabs match door jams.
