Here - grey skin from screenshots above and AO map with some rust (unlike first version I sent you before which was too clean for such old ship).

In arctic or atlantic, probably pretty rare but med and gibraltar convoys did include a lot of similar ships:

Small Freighter is modeled after SS Aslaug (1599 GRT, built in 1927) and Small Tramp Steamer after SS Armora (1903 GRT, built in 1911).

That's one of reasons I started this mod - ship roster in stock SH5 looks like trying to simulate road transport network by using only 18-wheelers.
