Default Navy RBO-2 Cosmetics

Hello,

I'm plan to start the restoration of a Navy RBO-2 receiver
Scott SLR-H) shortly. The receiver seems to be complete
except for the dial bezel and pointer. Also, the metal Navy
ID plate is missing. Do you have any idea where I could
locate these missing items? If so, please let me know.

The front panel of my set has a black finish and the cabinet
is painted green. Some of the photographs that I have
looked at on the Internet show the RBO-2 with a black crinkle
finish. I recall someone telling me years ago that the Navy
receiver was gray. Do you know what the original color and
texture of the front panel was? Also what was the color of
the cabinet?

Thanks for your assistance, Tom
