Hi Jacobus, Most "B" model Macks had a green interior. Here is a Youtube Video that shows the interior color of a B-61 Mack

As for the engine color of the Mack Thermodyne diesel, I believe they were gray as shown in this video.

Mack B-models were light green with no metallic (early production) 1953-56 56 and later were a medium metallic green inside,with a few custom orders where the interior metal surfaces were the same color as the outside of the truck.

The Mack ENDT-673 series and most other engines of this era were a "smoke gray" color similar to Krylon Smoke gray...............hope this is of some help.......Mark
