I'll have to see if I can find some pix of mine when they were new.
Mine is as you describe with the meters looking white and the dials
green. And the filter material appears blue from the back. I very
clearly rmember it as being green when new however--maybe I'm finally
losing it ;)
Wish I had a dollar for every mile I have spun the tuning dials on this
pair!
Still working well and getting great on-air reports. JUST replaced the
original finals a couple months ago. The old ones still worked just a
little soft.

Best of my knowledge Drake always used blue filter material. As most
of use has witnessed over the years with age the blue filter material
would fade in the area of the #47 lamp and the white plastic dial
background would yellow. The result was a green colored dial
background. The S meter would appear as no filter was installed at all
because of the fading, just colorless lamp light.
