Wayne & Tuna:
The early trailers like yours did not use zolotone paint,
which is a "splatter" paint over a solid color base.
Instead, they just used a solid color interior paint that,
if not custom ordered by the customer, was either beige or
"tender green." Tom Reed's 1949/50 Trailwind pictured in RJ
Dial's web site is painted tender green inside. My 1951
Clipper was painted "tender green" inside too, not with
zolotone.
