Cupola color for Pennsylvania RR N8 caboose?

#478171 is pictured in Morning Sun's PRR Color Guide to Freight and Passenger Equipment.

Is the cupola painted correctly on the MTH #478171 N8 model?

The MTH cabin #478171 including the cupola is painted as shown by the photograph published in Morning Sun's PRR Color Guide to Freight and Passenger Equipment.

I think MTH might have used Morning Sun's photo in selecting their #478171 paint scheme.

Here is a portion of Pennsy Cabin Car info I copy from somewhere.  Not sure if from a fellow forum member or another site.

"NOVEMBER 1, 1961

Marking of cupola side sheets added for pool cars (cupola sides painted Chrome Yellow for cars permanently assigned to pool service, yellow donut [2" i.d., 5" o.d.] applied to cupola side sheets for cars temporarily assigned to pool service). Sets record for short lived scheme (see next entry!!!).

"DECEMBER 1, 1961

"Outline Keystone" (see below) tracing issued. Cars still painted as above, except cupolas on pool cars were entirely Chrome Yellow (including cupola roofs). Same yellow donut for cars temporarily assigned to pool service."

MTH (and Atlas, Lionel and Weaver) make good use of the Morning Sun Color Guides and other references like the Railway Prototype Cyclopedias.  Page through one and you can usually match up the photos with several O scale models right down to the car number. 

The cover photo of the Northern Pacific color guide was used for for the Atlas Trainman NP RBL.
