BC Rail red white and blue locos: walkway colour?

Hey all.

I'm painting a few locos in BC Rail's later red, white and blue scheme.  The specific locos I'm painting are SD40-2, M420, M420B, C630, M630, M630W, and 8-40CW.

I'm wondering if anyone has any photos of the walkways on any of these units?

Sd40-2:  The earlier red, white and blue scheme, sometimes referred to as the "Hockey Stick" had blue walk ways all around.  The later scheme had silver front walkways, like the pilots and steps, leading up to the cab steps.  Would they have been blue around the back end since there was no break to separate the sides from the ends?

M420: The sides are blue I believe.  I'm not sure about the ends.

M420B; as above

C630: as above

M630: as above

M630w: as above

8-40CW: The front was silver and I believe the back was blue.

In reality it isn't really too relevant because they all weathered to a gray any way, but I'm going to be running them as through they were failry freshly painted so if I'm going to go through the effort of painting them, I may as well try to get it right.

Thanks for your help.
