V6 Air Cleaner colour

I am gong to put my car back to original  air filter.  I have dug up a white one, black one and a red nozzle but I thought they were all black as standard.  My parts all look like original so I am wondering if they were originally colour matched to the car?  I will have to get them powder coated so might as well get them correct. 
 
Also did they have warning stickers or just the embossed warning. 
 
Thanks.

    They were silver like the colour ford used to paint its 12 slot and holey wheels.  There is a decal on the front you can get in the XA decal kit from Rare Spares

    The silvery coloured one is the original colour - a close up of the sticker

    A picture of the Air Cleaner from the other car.
     
    I assume it is original and not been messed with and as I got it some 25+ years ago.
     
    Looks like the typical Ford Blue (as are the Rocker Covers) however the lower elbow extension piece is silver, so maybe not, as it doesn't appear to have the Air Cleaner Decal that Spud mentions.
