Default Rock Island Plow Co. paint

Does anyone know what are the correct colors for a mid-1920's Rock Island plow? The one I'm looking at looks like it might have traces of red on the beams, and maybe (or maybe not, hard to tell) yellow on the wheels. I've got a parts book, but it just has line engravings, no color pics. Also, it looks like in the parts book the beams have stenciled on them "Rock Island Plow Co., and the model number. What color would the stenciling be done in?
