Headlight buckets on 1957 Thunderbird

Still working on this Thunderbird. I am getting ready to paint sme of the parts that are painted black. I know the radiator and fan shroud are black,as are the horns.
I have been working on the headlight buckets. They are a mess. They are half covered with undercoat, and i have had to heat them up with a torch to be able to scrape it off.
So far i have found three different colors on the buckets, but for the most part they are black.
The car is being painted white. The front under fender is white ,as are the inside fenders, firewall etc.
This car was a factory white car, however white was not one on the three colors I found when I sandblasted the buckets.
What color should they be?
Any helpful information would be appreciated.

Thank You, that's what I was hoping.

I belong to CTCI and have never saw that PDF link.

That looks like a great source of information.
