Colour Vampire F.3 Bottle on the Cockpit Bulkhead

[Mike]

Hi all, I'm in the process of painting the cockpit of my Airfix Vampire here, and am banging my head against a brick wall about the bottle that's to the side of the seat on the cockpit rear bulkhead.  Is it a fire extinguisher as I originally thought, or an O₂ bottle for Mr Pilot?  Irresepectigardless, what colour would it be?  I've been hunting the various walkarounds including our own, and haven't seen a pic anywhere

 

Anyone help?

I guess it depends on the base of the Squadron - if in Scotland, most likely green or brownish-green (e.g. I think all of the Islays), but some excellent single malts come in uncoloured bottles (Scapa, Highland Park, a lot of the Speysides). South of the border - no clue.

Slainte ! 🙂
