Default Intake manifold and air cleaner color '51?

What was the factory color for the V8 intake manifold in '51, and the color for the air cleaner? I've seen some black, some silver/aluminum intakes, along with a light blue metallic color for the air cleaner, and some of those even black. Not sure which is the correct factory stock color combination for these parts that was with the stock bronze block and head color. Thanks!

The engine, air cleaner,oil filter & starter were Hawaiian Bronze. The following
items were Black.
Oil filler cap & tube
Crankcaes vent tube & clamp
Fan assembly & pully
Generator, mount & strap
Exhaust crossover pipe
Coil & bracket
Plug wire stands
(THERMOSTAT HOUSINGS) were Black, they were NEVER Bronze from the factory. Sherrel
