Hi. These are the colours of the one exhibited in the RA Museum - dated 1879.
This link might also help provide some useful background to the weapon:

Thank you, JB! I want to paint up the AIP Gordon Relief because I really like these sets. I usually collect ACW and AWI so I don't know much about this period. I found internet info on the uniforms and camel equipment but was striking out on the screw gun - guess I wasn't looking in the right place. The project may take a while though - the wife has me busy with the "honey-do" list. Anyway, thanks again!

Pleasure chum. Have aread through that link - as it contains a specific reference to the screw-guns being used in 1884 - when the relief column was being attacked. The half-battery got off one round of shot - to great effect during that action.
Are you intending to paint up a gun - in parts - and being carried by camels? I have a set (RA crew - in India - being carried by mules). Very nice little set to paint up. For camels - keep an eye on Trophy and Little Legion posts - they will usually feature at some time there. All the best - jb = johnnybach.
PS - Wife - and jobs - go together, you're not alone!
