A-6E Tram - landing gear bay colour?

Hi all!

 

I am building an A-6E Tram, and the instructions tell me to paint the interior of the nose wheel cabin "interior green."  Can this be correct?  I would've assumed they should be white.  I can't find any pictures anywhere that show this aircraft with green landing gear bays.

Even on jets painted in the all grays tactical paint scheme (TPS), gear bays are white - the better to spot hydraulic leaks. VA-35’s A-6E TRAM/SWIP jets absolutely had white nose and main gear bays in the 90s.

Thanks!  White it is!
