Default berlin rome race car questions (pre356)

hi guys slightly Ot but thought a 356 expert may know as this is part of the cars DNA, I'm building a model of the Porsche Berlin Rome race car also known as the 60K10, problem is references are few the kits instrucitions identify 3 chassis numbers 38.41, 38.42 and 38.43.
The kits instructions claim that car 38.41 was black in color, this car
features one wiper mounted above the drivers window and a front split grille,
destroyed in crash
38.42 which was Prof Porsche car and apparently Olive green in color, this
car destroyed by US troops after they cut roof off
38.43 the last surviving car made from parts of 38.41 in 1940 this is the
surviving car

period photos appear to show the car(s) with LHD hard to tell the colors due
to b&w photos
The only good period photo is in Excellence Was Expected and it appears to be 38.41 but in silver or plain aluminium

My question is this are there period photos of chassis 38.41 showing it to be black in color, do photos of the interiors exist?is there clear evidence that all 3 cars were LHD during the war? (the only survior is RHD)
