Yeah, the hatch should be the same color as the rest of the tank, with white around the rim of the opening on the tank roof.




These should help:

Not from a KV-1B, but they should still be useful. Bunch more pics at : http://www.primeportal.net/tanks/dmitry_kiyatkin/kv-1/index.php?Page=1

Hatch is all green on inside. Yes rust the exhausts and I would remove the spare track mounting brackets. Some useful pics here:
