Hard to tell, you tell us when it done. It looks like the model might have had most (if not all) of the paint removed before repainting.
Lesney painted the models gray or white first. Next, a diecast cap (a mask) was placed over the top of the cab and bed. the model was sent through the paint line again and painted red. This is how all of the two color models were made (exception being those which had parts painted in different colors prior to assembly).

It's grey but it's still a lovely model! If it has the SPW, it is quite rare even with the grey rather than white anyway.
Cheers,
Gavin
