What’s actually painted?

Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere but trying to find out what is actually painted on the engine, is the below photograph correct as it would have done when it left the factory?
Thanks in advance

The starter would have been fitted before green paint, as would the dynamo. There is a still or two on here that shows them in the factory.

On my unmolested cars the starter is original and black is still visible at the back where the paint presumably didn't go. I have posted on that here but for the life of me cannot find the pic sorry.

...and interesting bit of rubber by the clutch push rod?

Andy's earlier posts were spot on, can't for the life of me find them as well. That clutch arm needs replaced as it is bent

Everything bar the coil and distributor.

Well spotted - the arm would also be green too

When straight that is

Blimey! Pretty much dipped the engine then!
Was the gearbox casting painted also?
Thanks all.

Out of interest, that brake pipe is standing rather high compared to what I assume would be later cars?

What about the dog bone bar and associated bracketry on the engine?
