What color should the hoses from the filters be? My guess is black, but I cannot find any proof anywhere.

All references I have show them being painted the same color as the tank.

When I took photos of a restored one at APG, they were made of rubber but painted the tank color. The hose fittings were plain metal color, but this is a restored tank as opposed to one right off the assembly line. I imagine that a new one would have had everything painted the overall color.

Backing up Sabot - all the photos I've seen have them the same as the tank.
