I am far from an expert, but all of them I have pics of, have black lids. Here is an example pic of an unrestored, all original 18,000 miler recently purchased from the original owner. Seems unlikely someone would intentionally change the color of the lid. Maybe some quantity came with red lids. I always wondered about the positive battery cable location. You see them routinely in two locations on survivors. They must have come both ways.
