[Hammarlund] Yellow meters?

[Russ WQ3X]

A lot of the military gear had yellow or tan meters to begin with. The 
Collins 51S-1 is an example. I've always thought this was done to relieve 
eye fatigue at night. I think the HQ-150s were a yellowish orange not white 
when new. The later 170s and 180s were white.
