Default Apollo Lunar Module question - colors?

Because it was a two-man job, there were no still shots but there is
video footage:

There is also a colour chart at the bottom of this page:

Thanks for those.

That chart on biglobe prompts the question, did we see the Rover being
unloaded on any of the flights? All I can remember is what you see in the
still shots, the Rover parked while the crew did tasks around it. I want
to say I remember watching over the front fender(s) during at least 1
drive, but I'm suspicious that I've got any details correct.

Here's a preflight picture of the LM for Apollo 15, showing how the colors
look in a more familiar environment.

The LRV is being stowed, so those white panels look to be the bottoms of
the seats.
