Early AIM-9L (think F-15A USAFE) and AIM-7F should be white not light grey- my 2 cents 😁 'mid' service USAF/ USN AIM-9L seem to still have the white rear fins but a light grey body.

True; in reality a friend of mine that was an USMC armorers between the 80' and the 90' tell me that even during ODS was normal see 'Winders with some parts in white, depending as thee different components were assembled or cannibalized before loading to the jets
