Original Dip Stick Tube Color?

What color were the oil dip stick tubes in our trucks originally (SBC if it matters)?

Mine looks like it may have been unpainted originally, but now has Chevy engine orange overspray.

They were painted Chevy orange along with the engine.

Does this hold for both the normal dip stick tubes on two-wheel drive trucks and the longer dip stick tubes on four-wheel drive trucks?
