Hi David (Dave),
Maybe? The Russians did not look after there ships well. They had a very short life 10 to 15 years only. Not like the rest of the navies of this time. Some in service for 40 years plus (not always in the same navy). Black would go greenish after some time. So this could be the answer to all of this part of this thread.
Be safe
