WW1 2cm Becker explosive projectile colours

How should a WW1 era 2cm Becker fuzed explosive projectile be painted (colour, markigs etc)?

Can anyone post a diagram or photo of an original?

Thanks for any info.
 
The only ref. manual i have with the Becker only shows a tracer round, painted green.The ones i've seen have had traces of green remaining.
All the fuzed rounds i've seen have been in dark steel, no trace of colour or markings other than stamped.
