Default Looking for pics of underside of convert rear deck lid

I'm getting ready to paint the underside of my rear deck on a 70 vert and would like to see a picture of original paint so I know how the pieces should look. Mainly what was painted body color, etc.
Thanks.

Underside of the decklid with release handle was body color. The rest of the underside hardware was added after paint.

Thanks whiteflame. That's definitely another option. Good color choices with the black top.
