Not so much an Historical Reference, but we did an all-kit, all-scale Sea Fury GB in 2012:

Is interior green used in the cockpit and wheel wells?

Toby, originally the wheel wells were finished in an Ochre coloured primer but modern restorations have often been painted silver or light grey.
The cockpit was black.

You might find the reference pages from the Last Sea Fury GB useful as it has several links to walk around photo sites
