There are very early color photos of the 1123 (the green/red one) that were published in the "Trackside with Henry Peterson" book, if memory serves me, that confirms the colors on the Railroad magazine painting.

I have seen at least one photo of the other locomotives that shows the wings were shiny silver (bare aluminum) with black trim. From what I've read, this is how all the other streamstyled locomotives appeared.
