Wanted: Color code for old inductors

Does anyone have a copy of the color code used on inductors in the 40s
and 50s? I've got a choke that has a green body, first band orange,
second band violet and tolerance band silver. Somewhere around here I
have a copy of it but I am hard pressed to find it even though I've torn
my library apart. I know it is consistent with the old RMA color code for
capacitors but not sure of the nuances.

Could it be 0.37 uh? That would be using the silver as a multiplier.
Don't know if the body color plays a role here. Seems like most all of
my 60s era chokes have a green body.
