Guy Fay's Originality Guide has a list of things that were supposed to get masked before painting. It was a pretty short list:
battery ignition unit/magneto
secondary ignition wires
electrical terminals and terminal screws not assembled
serial plate and name plates such as generator, starter
gauge glass faces, lamp lenses
fuel strainer glass bowl
seat cushion
steering wheel grip
voltage regulator resistor
fuse holder knob
The tires/rims, batteries and muffler were installed after painting.
I assume there were minor changes to this list over time.
Cultivators could be C-244, more likely C-254. Not sure on the side dressers, several possibilities. Check the parts catalog for the cultivator and see if a side dresser unit is listed with it.
Some very early cultivators could have had more blue paint due to the pigment shortages, but that was over well before 1950.
In general, 60 year old pictures have more accurate details than 60 year old memories. :)
