My JH27N0B car is an E63 AC with automatic. B24 SPD. It's NOM but I have no doubts the original engine would have been blue. The car I posted a picture of a couple years back is 10 or 11 VINs before my cars and it's similarly optioned other than it is not an AC car and its engine is blue. My understanding is that my engine would be orange if my car had been a 4 speed.
There was a member who used to post here who had a JH23N0B 4 speed car that iirc his dad was the original owner and it had an orange motor. Sorry but I have no info on its SBD.
