Keith,
I'm hardly an expert on E5 phases either, but you're definitely looking at black stripes.  The red didn't come into use until, I believe, 1959.

Charlie-

Thanks for your info. I am going to give a go at using a product called "Bare Metal". I've bought Chrome and Ultra Chrome versions and will compare them before applying them to the prepped shells. The manufacturer tells me the material will take decals. They promote it for doing detail work on model cars and planes and such but I'm not sure anyone has tried covering an entire shell. If anyone has experience with this stuff please chime in. Fortunately, this product is removable and I won't ruin the shell. I'll let the group know how it goes and post some pics when I'm done.

On the subject of phases, are you telling me that Joe's shell (based on Life Like E6) is Phase II, not as delivered. I want to model the Texas Zephyr's E5s in summer 1940 to 1942 timeframe. Do I need to change something to get the right version? Black striped or red stripes? I'm just developing my CBQ reference library and haven't distilled the nuances of E5 configurations.

Thanks,
Keith
