Default 72 rebuild Colors "correct"

Need help again guys. Who knows what book has the colors for a 72 restoratin. Does the bellhousing get painted orange or aluminum. The clutch fork, the expansion tank ( mine is black). I think the previous owner was painting things that should not be painted. Any help is appreciated!! This site is a great place!!

NCRS has a guide for the 70-72
edit -looking in the book it looks like the bellhousing is aluminum with some orange overspray on the small block.What do you have?

Seems to be quite a bit of paint (overspray) on the bottom of the bellhousing but no paint on most of it. I guess it is factory!
