As in the illustration, latterly both live and training WE177 were green. The only external difference was the yellow (HE) and orange (fissile) bands around the nose. I worried a lot the day I had to turn the key and drop a green (inert test) item.

Whatever though, as others have said, it’s still a pretty provocative thing to do.
