Thought I would add something to this section to keep it moving forward...
I am working on the restoration of my correct and original C-6 transmission driveshaft. The information here would also apply to the super cobra jet engine with the C-6 transmission (Note: The 4-speed driveshaft and paint daubs are different.).
These driveshaft's are quickly recognizable by the approx. 6" taper seen on each end. (Note: The 4-speed drive shaft will not incorporate these tapered ends.).
After carefully removing the surface rust on my drive shaft, I found the four paint daub/stripes applicable to these units. Although the colour may a bit hard to see here, I was able to locate the correct:
yellow/orange/lavender + the white daub that sits alone further down the shaft.
Hopefully you can see in my photos, that the factory did not apply these paint daubs in a "neat" fashion; looks like the paint brush hit the shaft fully and the technician then twisted the brush to the its side to complete the daub/stripe around most of the shaft. The white stripe is fairly thick in application compared to the other three.
I will look to replicate this application on my restored driveshaft.
