It's a difficult question Ameng because while the UKicon used paint over the phosphate from new, where Ordnance stockpiles were pooled, such as with the Canadians in Germanyicon or Aust and NZ in Malaya, then all the rifles, regardless (including the light green/kakhi Owens etc etc) were all finished in the painted black finish. So you'll find Australianicon, NZ and Can L1A1's in Grey (oops, sorry, gray!) or black
