Amt Old Reliable II decal question

[noname]

I have one of the older (1993) Amt 62 Impala Dave Strickler's "Old Reliable II" kits.  The kit decals are in black. The issue is all the colour photos I am finding show blue lettering.  Does anybody know if there was a point in 1962 that this car actually had the black lettering? Hard to tell from black and white photos. There is one old washy colour photo where the letters could be black but the number on the car is 201 instead of the 602 that comes with the kit.

In a couple pics I found, #2 is blue and #4 is black. Here they are together, I believe.

Ya I noticed the 63 had black letters. I'm thinking there could have been a black lettered version of the 62 but not sure. All I see is the blue lettering in colour photos.
