Like to see others myself.
Dean, mine is originally Pinehurst Green. Sometimes difficult to distinguish bare metal from the green.
Mine is still sitting (forlornly) disassembled. It had a color change Maroon repaint and then red primered over the repaint. But hidden areas that have been exposed by my disassembly remain original Pinehurst Green. So pretty sure the areas you are asking about are as original (but now some rust and lots of dirt added to the mix).
However my top is stacked in the well, and the well cover is (mostly) in place, so not easy to see much to help you. 99% sure my well cover is a replacement, think that's been discussed before. But not much has affected the well coating. Inside of trunk was painted maroon, but still evidence of the Pinehurst Green pops thru. It was not primered over, so still Maroon inside the trunk.
Looking at your pic, first thing I note is the paint on the top edge of the sheet metal behind the seat back.
That checks out with the Pinehurst Green paint on that same top edge of mine. The rear edge of it is also Pinehurst Green. Difficult for me to see down into the well. Haven't tried to see from the trunk side. I can recall seeing Pinehurst Green up in there, but to what extent I'll have to look again.
Behind the seat back, looks to me that panel was left in red primer (I believe original, not related to the primer job done on the exterior).
Top of wheel housings seem to have been painted somewhat like you've done, but this where it is difficult to judge the transition from Pinehurst Green to unpainted. If I had to guess, it looks like it may have stopped about in line with the top edge of the seat back panel. If I was guessing, any paint from there down is unintentional overspray.
The mounting brackets for the top cylinder seem to have been painted black top to bottom.
The side panels themselves seem to have a lot of red primer showing.
My interior is Black, so the exposed portion is Black, haven't tried to see the delineation point.
The close out panel is hot dipped galvanized and a sealer was used in a band around the edges after it was installed.
The cylinders don't look to have been in place when the mounting brackets were painted, but looks to me they got hit with overspray possibly from the sound deadening stuff sprayed thru the opening before the close out panels were installed? It looks thick splatter, not how paint overspray would look.
I'll try to get a couple pix to show all this over the weekend.
