MG TD TF 1500 - MG TF Details

I am still in the process of stripping my mgtf and documenting little details. I hope that someone can help me with this one, the car is black and the code shows that it came from the factory in black and it still has the original leather interior (red). The front fenders are off and the grille shell removed and the panel that directs air up into the radiator is red. This is the panel that fastens to the radiator not the piece on the outside. Was this a factory detail or has someone in the past repainted it? These are listed at Moss Motors under chassis and frame as #38, #39, #40.

The car is very original including paint so this one appears to be an anomaly.

My TF is red and the panel you refer to is black! I have recently had the two trianglar side pieces and the one at the bottom (with elongated hole for the starting handle) powder coated and they were certainly, originally black.

I believe this panel should be black on all TFs, regardless of body colour.
