Alpine Series II Dashboards

I tried to strip the top 2 or 3 layers of paint to determine the original color
of the dash. While the bottom layer was a blue that would have gone with the
wedgewood exterior, it was clearly applied after the instruments were
installed. I would have concluded that the dash was originally the bare black
plastic, but have seen several period B&W photos of S.II interiors where the
dash was clearly something other than black. Were painted dashboards possibly
a dealer or some other post factory modification? Does anybody know the story
on this? What are the original colors of the dashboards on the other S.IIs out
there?
 
Thanks in advance for any inputs on this.
 
Best Regards,
