Are this (this driveline) from you car or another? In the earlier pictures it appears that you have two different types of drivelines one a tube in tube and the other a straight style

Well that explains some of the confusion. Colors, copying mark locations from one to the other, yoke colors .... You understand that the strip locations would not likely be the same between the two applications, different colors were used and so on. This is how owners get different marks & details that what was original

To an earlier question. Yes slip yokes would be marked but the color would be specific to the application (driveline & U joint size as well as transmission type) sort of the same thing goes for the driveline yokes. They would have been painted before they were welded to the driveline and even before they were machined (don't forget those details) and the color was dependent on the diameter so since your two drivelines are different in that way you can't use the findings.
