Hi Guys, newbie here so be gentle with me ok I'm need of some help regarding the correct colour for fire extinguishers fitted to British armour , particularly Shermans in the Normandy campaigns and beyond, Have seen restored vehicles with them painted red and a light green colour, so any help with this minor detail very much appreciated.

In the reviews I have read by accomplished modellers, who have done the research into these things. There research seems to go with red.
