Anyone have examples of original HD rear shocks with paint makings? I see markings identified on an engineering doc (See pic)

Unfortunately, I only have a 1971 document.  It shows the HD rear shock (3402415) as having Green & Yellow markings.  I'm actually interested in what would have been on the 1970  HD rear shock (3004960).  Curious if anyone has ever seen either type?

Up to March 18,1970 Build date there was a Blue mark on the lower barrel of the shock, after that date there was None according to my data.

Not a 960 but here's orange markings on an NOS 3004959...340 A-body.
Also markings on a pair of E-body NOS 3402411's that I have...would be blue and coral according to the provided chart.
...and for the heck of it, a picture of a Canadian version over the counter 3402415

Here is the paint daub on a NOS 1970 EBody 3400854 shock with a July 70 date code. This is the AAR, 440 and hemi HD shock for 70 E bodies.
