YES.  On many Bugeyes, some of the steering arms were painted yellow or at 
least part ways.  I have seen it on more original Bugeyes that i have owned 
than not.  Try telling that to your concours judge.

Nice car but, like you said, Mark,

Air Cleaners should be the pancake filters, silverish finish.
It has the wrong gas cap.
They didn't come with a cigarette lighter.
Were the steering arms painted yellow from the factory?
Driver's door has a poor fit, paint is already rubbed off at the top.
Is that rust down near the door hinge?
Shouldn't the E brake handle be chrome?
Poor carpet fit at top of tunnel.
Not impressed with the upholstery job on the seat back.
I know it nit picking, but for $23000, I would expect it to be perfect.

Sprite Arrow should be Chrome too......;-)
