Request assistance early 20s Shelby

[RPower]

Greetings experts. I am doing a full restoration on a 20s Shelby built for Valu stores. The frame, fork (Meiselbach), fenders, etc. are going to the paint shop soon but I do not know what the original paint scheme was. Does anyone have a pic or reference to an age appropriate paint and color scheme? Also, what hubs would have been used on this bike and does anyone have them (I have the hoops)? Lastly, can anyone date the bike beyond "mid-twenties"? Thanks!!!
