Golden Arrow Headboard

Hello all,

 

Im looking to renumber / repaint an old kit bash as Port Line in the early 50's as pictured on the Golden Arrow in experimental blue.

 

Was the Golden Arrow headboard at this point blue and gold to match the experimental livery, or was this always green?

 

Sadly colour photos I have found such as the below from SEMG / Roy Vandersteen collection, or elsewhere make it hard to differentiate. 

 

Many thanks.

Looking at that photo, the (dark) blue of the tricolour flag just impinges on the name board. That blue is clearly darker than the livery blue of the loco but when you compare the difference between those two blues and between the colour of the flag and the name board, it becomes obvious that the name board and the loco livery are quite different and I would say that the name board is green rather than blue.
