Noli, I didn't paint the interior since this one is "buttoned up" but if I had, it would've been "elfenbein" or Interior Buff (the MM color description) given when the Pumas were produced.

If the Puma had been captured by the British, would they have moved the mirror to the opposite side I wonder? :-)
