Sea Hurricane arrestor hook colour?

Hi,

what was the original WWII 1942 Sea Hurricane Mk Ib arrestor hook colour?

 

"7L" in Museum has the hook in red, but... is this historically accurate?

Thank you in advance!

The hook on the Shuttleworth Hurricane is a lightweight fibreglass replica,  in part as the prop is a Rotol unit,  and Sea Hurricane I's needed the weight of the DH metal unit.

 

I can't recall a colour image of a Sea Hurricane, but there are B/W images showing the hook, and it's the underside colour AFAIK

If I find anymore I'll add them in...

And what about the catapult rolls at the radiator sides? Again, in Museum these are red.

 

I don't know.   They are only on Sea Hurricane I though, not the SH II.
