Oliver 1250 - possibly a Cockshutt 1250

I bought this Oliver 1250 and in the process of restoring it. The person I bought it from had a mechanic with "mental issues" and had removed the ID plate. The tractor is green, but unknown if it is Oliver green or just painted to match his other tractors and implements.
In rebuilding the injection pump and now doing an in frame engine rebuild I am finding a lot of areas that were not spray painted or the green has been rubbed or worn down and is red, such as the valve cover, oil pan inspection cover, underside of the differential.
Without the ID plate is there any way to tell if this was a Cockshutt? Engine numbers or other ID numbers?
 
It could be Fiat red underneath. I have a 1365 that I painted as an Oliver. It was originally a Cockshutt, but
there are two different colors of red. One is the darker Cockshutt Sumac Red, then there's a lighter red under it.
If you only have one color of red, I'd guess it's Fiat red.
