Olympic white pic request

If anyone on here has an Olympic white scrambler could you share some photos. My 81 was originally Olympic white before a ranch decided it was better as hugger orange. Interior shots would be great as well. I know my original top was nutmeg but I'm having a hard time finding what I should paint white and what should be nutmeg... when I get to that stage. I'm planning on doing just the Brown decal set on it. Maybe painting the jeep logo on the sides and tailgate nutmeg. As well as the roll bar and maybe all the hinges.
 
I don't have any of a base model but the paint would have been the same as this Renegade just without the stripes.

I'm assuming my hard top was nutmeg because my seats and door panels were a tan color. What other top colors would they have offered on a white body. Probably just white, nutmeg, and black right? I don't think I've seen too many factory scramblers in white/black though. Hell I don't think anyone keeps them white
 
This is pretty much dead on what the next Scrambler I build will look like, however garnet interior.
I am trying to figure out 2 things, the first being, do I do the steering column and wheel garnet as well like a limited setup or not.
The second was the 1/2 hard top. I am thinking black, but white was the other possibility.

If you have nutmeg already, it makes sense that the top could be nutmeg... but now you have me thinking about a custom garnet top, but I think that might be too much over the edge on the garnet side.

I also noticed this one has a white tunnel cover where mine is black where the shifters come through. It's hard finding out what was what color originally since everything was repainted years ago.
 
I am guessing repainted quick for a resale and wanted to take pics so fast wipers weren't on.
