Great.. Crisis averted.. We can go down to DEFCON 3 again

Here is one picture, that I believe shows the head of the torpedo being coloured and the main body being metal:



(I think the strips on the head should be painted red and white)

Just found this on Youtube:

Thanks! We have tons of B&W photos, and I think the striped head one is a training torpedo. But we need to know what color to paint ours... I doubt we'll be lucky to find a color period photo of one,and modern ones don't look the same. I think our best bet is some sort of a period document that lists different munitions type and their colors, like we have for other nations.
