Here is another shot of her. The picture seems to be taken with the orthochromatic film. The rudder seems to be a little bit darker than the yellow band on the fusealage and it can suggest the red coat. But it might be matter of the scan quality. IMHO the rudder was of the yellow as well..The pic below shows the fuselage band as dark as the coat of the rudder in the image above.

Additionally, the enlarged pics reveal that the spinner didn't wear any strips but actually the usual spiral that was of yellow as well as the band and rudder IMHO.
