I'm an old sailor as well and the rhyme used to be:

The models that I've noticed had the green lense forward, the rest red.
Whoa! Before I sent this message I went and looked at another older O scale
model that I have.
I'm sure this will start a good discussion. I have seen some with the green
lens forward, others with the green lens outward, all others red.
