Zavod 51 as I-16 overhaul depot

Добрый день.

Searching Perst's collection, I found an interesting series of photos:

Can anybody confirm that these photos were taken at Zavod 51 in Moscow in winter 1941/42?

Does anybody have any information regarding the colour of these I-16s? Any opinion - were they silver, gray or white?

Following two photos are showing I-16 Type 24 of the 4th GIAP at Leningrad Front in early 1942. Pilot of this plane was G. Tsokolaev.

Colour and markings of this I-16 are very similar to Zavod 51 I-16s on photos above. Is it possible that Tsokolaev's plane had been overhauled in Moscow?

How widespread was this nonstandard silver (or gray) scheme in 1942?

Any information would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

You may answer in Russian, I can understand Russian and read cyrillic.
