Jim, I have an older decal listing from the original owner of Clover House, and he listed the Oppenheimer Casing 40 ft Car, circa 1930, as having light green sides, and the lettering white, black, and red. Unfortunately it does not list the roof or end colors. I have seen a couple different variations on the internet, but my first choice prior to that search was reefer red, but I certainly don't want to give you misimformation if it's not correct on the roof and ends.
