Never known them to be anything other than Dark green Jonesy. Havnt seen a variant other than As you said that the auto skirts were avocado. Model 2 2a and 3 are definately dark green, as for 4 and 5 I cannot confirm 100% but all originals ive seen were dark green. I have seen restored rings in hammered finish. Restorers preference I guess and they are usually in alpine green hammer spray,not even avocado. Anyways ive only had a few with traces of colour and they were dark green:)
