Do you mean the 17.7" (45 cm) F200/450 x 5.46 type torpedo (german designation: F5W) ?

That's right, that's the torpedo.
We have a lot of B&W photos of it, where it mostly looks like the body was left unpainted bare metal, and the head was either also bare metal, or painted various colors. Definitely looks like more than one color on different photos, so we're kind of confused. Were there different sub-variants that were painted differently, or simply no standard at all?
[Edit] And yes, this is for the BR-20.
Also, thanks everyone for the other answers, but keep it coming!
