As it happens, this morning I finally got around to reading the pdf manual for this old Dufaycolor film. It includes a couple of pages of advice about lighting, makeup and lenses which struck me as strange at first, until I realised it was written in 1938 when colour film was something new. I'm now curious to find a colour photo of panchromatic makeup to find out what colour(s) it really was. It's amazing how this film resembles a Bayer-pattern under the microscope; we seem to have come full circle :) Drifting off-topic, I wonder if anyone's tried CMY on both sensors and LCDs to increase the sensitivity/brightness.
