MG TD TF 1500 - Tool Box Color?

In this photo of JE Carrolls fuel pump, I noticed the tool box is what appears to be Black or an extremely dark shade of Green. I thought they were all painted body color. Any comment on this?

J E Carroll's box is body colour, I think its just the angle of the metallic paint not catching the flash as much. Body colour is normal for the toolbox.

Matthew is correct; the camera just captured the shadow.

Sadly it's all getting stripped off as I dislike the color. The original color was ivory but I think it would look best in a dark red or burgundy.

The tube was painted in lacquer, I know not what brand or color # and the wings and hood/bonnet are in primer or bare steel. I've been advised that no matter how you seal the lacquer it will eventually cause some failure of a modern top coat.
