71–Correct Decals

[eleedom]

Hello! I’m not new to the forum, but I haven’t posted in a while.
I have my grandfather’s Model 71. Originally, the tractor had a blue front panel (no headlights), the black and red Cub Cadet decals on the hood and a blue crown-like emblem on the dash. It came that way as I remember the tractor when I was a kid. It was made in May, 1966 according to the serial number chart. My question is:

Should it actually have the blue stripe decal on the hood or the red and black decal?
