No worries, It's always good when someone else chimes in with alternative information! Keeps me in my toes.
Those profiles are older and perhaps based on lower quality photos. I can understand that the cleaner enginecowling could have been interpreted as white, specially as the aircraft had white wingtips.
The spinner just can not be right in those profiles. A quick look at the photos shows the backplate to be in a single color and that the darker of the color on the main cone is darker than the one on the backplate. That makes me certain that the main cone was black and white with an RLM70 backplate.
Some have believed the backplate to be red and that's at least possible given the color differences on the main cone and the backplate.
