Correct Oil Breather Cap for 1959 Cadillac?

Hello all, quick question.  My Cadillac Master parts catalog states that the correct Oil Breather Cap for 1959 is the 3" high FB-5 from AC.  I have a gentlemen who is selling an NOS FB-5 and a FB-2.  He states that the FB-5 is black painted with a blue colored decal with Red AC logo and lettering, whereas the FB-2 is also black painted but with a black colored decal with Orange logo and lettering.  Mine is so beat up and has no decal so I have nothing to compare to and just want to make sure to identify the FB-5 correctly as it is possible that the two were switched in their boxes at some point. 

Anybody know for certain if the original FB-5 had a blue decal or a black one????  It is interesting that I have only ever seen the reproduction decals in black with orange lettering.......
