Well, I spent much of today on my rear end.   
 
After using a putty knife to scrape all the crud from around the diff
housing I discovered it is dark red in color and the rear cover and axel
tubes appears to have been originally black.  Is this the correct color
combination for the TR3 in 1958?  I guess I was just assuming that
everything under the car was black.
 
I believe it all to be original to the car as the TS-xxxxx number are very
close to the commission & transmission numbers.
