Yes,

Should be black. I Have seen some that are brassy - may have had the blacking rubbed or polished off. Rover cars of the period have chromed versions. Some have a resistor wrapped around the bakelite body. The ones with the resistor use a 2.5V globe - otherwise 12V. Red (Ignition); Amber (Choke); Green (Oil warning) glass insert lenses. The earliest Oil Warning lights have a cut OIL brass insert and are quite different in construction to the type you are referring to.

There is a whole range of Lucas Part Nos during the 1950s.
