Grey was used on Royalfleet ships/Not particularly rare in the UK, if its in original paint though that is rare. Usually they are just rust coloured
I have an early one that appears to be in original paint, however it is grey. No idea when they they changed from grey to red, or if the grey on mine is original or just a very good repaint.
The OP vice has paint on the handle area, even ne tat was not painted.
But some who were taken back into the GPO service from Civil defense were sl;ape painted red.
