'68 OW trans stamp color and dipstick tube
Got my '68 TH400 back from the rebuilder, and I plan to recreate an "OW" stamp on the bellhousing. I have measurements from a similar trans and have seen examples, but am not sure what color it is supposed to be.
I've seen pink/yellow/black variants of the stamps between Chevy and Olds transmissions, but I've never seen an original stamp on a known '68 OW trans. Does anybody here know what color the lettering should be or have an example picture of a known '68 OW?
I'm not talking about the actual unit tag on the side, I'm good to go there. I've attached a picture for reference... I think the picture is a '69 trans tag I found somewhere on here and saved a while back.
Second question, what color is the trans dipstick supposed to be? Pretty sure it's bare/natural steel, just want to make sure.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

The tube is natural metal the indicator handle I believe is red.
As far as the color of the stamp which is technically wrong since a mask was used and the color rolled on. I would use almost any color that comes in to your head. Who would know you can't see it when installed.
