I believe Detroit 56 Dodge trunk undersides were top colour and LA 56 Dodges were a grey made from mixed left-over enamels.

The sound deadening panels were rectangular and did NOT cover all of the undersides. 57s were different (covered all of the undersides).

One 56 Dodge example (ignore the aftermarket spare cover):
