Question on Ansaldo Balilla interior color

I am currently working on the Ansaldo Balilla kit by Karaya. I have run into a problem researching the interior color, and do not have access to the Datafile for this aircraft. I found some restoration photos posted on the WW1 website by Alberto Castriani of a restored Balilla in Italy. In these photos the interior is painted white, and the instrument panel appeas to be a dark blue (may be the light, I would think black may be the correct color). anyway, i am building an Italian built Balilla used by Poland in 1919 and allof the online builds I have seen of this kit show the interior in varnished plywood. Were all of the Ansaldo built aircaf painted white at the factory, or was this a later modification to the restored one in Italy? Just need to know if the interior/dashboard should be white & black, or plain varnished wood.
thanks,
Dave

Question

Hi Galeazzo,
Thanks for posting the great pictures. They still do not answer my question, since the Balilla interior is the same aircraft posted on the WW1 models site and has the interior painted white with blue dash. But the SVA5 photo is in natural plywood. Does anyone have the Ansaldo Balilla Datafile, and does that show any interior photos to let us know if the white was standard on all Italian built Balillas?
Thanks,
Dave
