Were the rear drums on a 73 Challenger Rallye painted orange? This is a picture of the car in 1975 being washed by my uncle. If you look close, it looks like the drum is orange. If it was orange, what color orange and how much of the drum was painted?

In some years, cars equipped with styled wheels had orange painted drums, below is the assembly line instruction.

Was that still done in 73 or is the picture an illusion?
