Upon closer inspection it appears that the tailgate has been replaced at some point. The traces of red paint remaining on the interior appear to be original 1960’s “Poppy red” rover paint with no Limestone paint underneath as on the rest of the interior and exterior. The tailgate was removed and stripped of all bolted on galvanized parts, most of the interior paint removed and the hardware/galvanized cleaned of spray paint traces with a wire brush before reassembling.
