The body colour doesn't matter in this case.

2.7 kohm on the left. 15 kohm on the right.

If in doubt measure them.

I'll second the point about measuring resistors. If they're not new, especially if they've been in service for 50 years, they may be out of tolerance. Some types are more stable than others, including, I think, those pictured here.
