AD-5W and AD-5N pics of CVG-17 1957 Med cruise?

So I've got enough information for multiple planes for accurate paint jobs for almost all the planes in CVG-17 on CVA-42 for the med cruise of 9/1957-3/1958. But I can't find any for the planes of VA(AW)-12 Det. 37 AD-5W's (7XX) or VA(AW)-33 AD-5N's (8XX). I've spent hours searching Google for various terms, I have the cruise book, but basically nothing.

I have at least a couple I think accurate Modex/BuNo. combos for a couple AD-5N's but no color scheme, and nothing for the AD-5W's. Anyone have any ideas on where I can find some good intel?

Tail would have AL on it.

Thanks,

Tom

Edit: I do know they are gull gray over white... but that's it. No marking info or squadron colors.
