White winged Ravens

Taking a breather on Mossie/ Beaus. Thought my O-1 would be a quickie. So much for THAT idea. Looking for confirmation … Raven O-1s = No white wings. O-2s seem to have had white upper wings as the norm. USAF O-1s , it seemed to be on a unit level. (some Army units used International Orange upper wing panels.) Photos show Raven O-1s with red stripes on the upper wing, but the lighting, it is hard to tell if the upper wing has white or no. (thinking grey with red. )

Not directly Raven related but sure it applied to those remote Lima sites they used.

Side bar: What color was the instrument panel? Photos of restored/ museum pieces show grey, black, OD, interior green. I found 1 period photo (US Army) sorta showing the interior …. panel is not black. I’d lean towards interior green, like the rest of the cockpit. Ohers being civilian / after market replacements. Any thoughts?
