Though this factory picture of the 22nd series clearly shows the front engine support bracket was not black and apparently engine color (gray), I must say that all the prewar senior ones I've seen on cars that I took to be unmolested were black. Don't know for certain but if it were mine, I'd do it black. Photo from MSU's MMM collection (cropped).
Same photo also answers the frequent question about the color of the oil filler tube, though remember this is a 22nd series photo so it doesn't necessarily apply to every year and model. Some other interesting details in this picture, for example the long, sweeping curve of the carburtor fuel inlet line. And the connection point for the battery ground cable at the forward generator bracket bolt.
Good move on the urethane engine support cushions!
