The black sections on 973p74 are probably my mistake, since the basis of the
pattern (without the Police decorations) was a copy of 973p73.
Generally speaking, unless we have evidence the that colour is actually printed,
by having the same pattern available on different colour torso parts, then any
area in the colour of the only issued base part should use colour 16.
