There is no doubt your engine should be gray. You asked if it could have been a replacement engine since it was green. To be a legitimate green it would almost certainly have to be 1947 or earlier (though there is some debate about the 356 engines in the 22nd series) and there are so many differences, motor mounts for one, water pumps for another, that that's really not very likely. Checking the motor number would of course settle that issue. I'd bet that someone repainted it green either because they found that more appealing, or were just uninformed.
