Good Detective work. Those are the FIRST pictures I've seen so far that may have been part of an airplane at one time. I am not intimately familiar with the construction details of Boeing aircraft windows... but the darker green and lighter yellow Zinc Chromate primers, I am familiar with.... they were in use on most General Aviation aircraft up until around 1993 or 1994 time frame.... Zinc Chromate was determined to be "hazardous material" and most suppliers stopped selling it Aviation Maintenance Facilities.

It was darn good stuff to prevent corrosion of aluminum aircraft parts, especially on airplanes used or stationed near salt water ocean areas. Good for the airplanes, bad for the guys who had to spray it on.

John Labriola (Walking Forward, Looking Back) took a photo outside the WTC, presumably on Church Street, before either collapse showing a light green painted piece. Could light green paint be used on Flight 11 or 175?

[amazed!]

Light green paint is primer coat, and virtually all US aircraft contain that aluminum primer surface somewhere. Apparently they prime the aluminum pieces after they are made because it prevents corrorsion. The exterior gets a final coat over the outside pieces, but the inside pieces show only the primer.
