I have three different books on the Bearcat. As I recall from memory, my documentation shows that the leading edges were reported both as yellow and as polished aluminum. Unless they were done both ways (unlikely) one book is wrong. I can check my books when I get home from work and report what books say what. Also, the "Blue Angels" script which appeared only on the late Angels Cats was done in 'Gold Leaf' which is a metalic like gold. The other numbers and marks are in the usual Navy Yellow.
