The compartment color would be red oxide. It is distinctly red and has no brown in it at all. See here for color reference -


The engine and transmission would be semi-gloss black.

Thank you for your help , do you know by chance some references ? Tamiya, Revell, Humbrol, Model masters or maybe RAL?

The only company that I am aware of that makes a true red oxide is Lifecolor. UA 231 German Oxid Rot. It’s an acrylic, but it’s the best acrylic on the market, IMHO. Others may know of more out there. Semi-gloss black is a universal color.
