The old OC81 had a spot of coloured paint by the collector wire which is insulated with red pvc in the shots in post 20.
I'm not sure what the convention is for the colour of sleeving used on transistor leads. However in this set the collectors are connected to the negative side of the supply. This makes me think the collectors should be sleeved in black and the emitters in red. Perhaps one of our more knowledgable members could advise.
