The only thing I can add is to say the current smoke box front on the 18 looks way too bright. I cannot provide any technical info, but I'm old enough to have seen the real thing. It has been a long time since I actually saw SP smoke box fronts that were actually painted by SP, but I seem to remember the color as a dull silver. Even when newly painted it was not really bright. But that was a long time ago.
