The oleo's are not white, the U/C leg is, the oleo (which can't be seen) will be the same as every other aircraft and that is chrome in colour. In the RAF training it as always referred to as the fescalised portion, which is actually a trade name.
Not correct, the oleo strut is the complete shock absorber unit, not just the fescalised portion, this is attached and forms part of the undercarriage. Often they slot up inside the undercarriage leg as shown in that image, or can be trailing link types. I probably overhaul 1 a month lol.
