I did a bunch of old catalog research when I went on a GSE-collecting kick some years ago. The first Porta-Pads were yellow, and appeared in the 1971 and 1972 catalogs that color. Then red. Orange 1975-1981. Then in 1982 it was revised to be lower and wider and was black through 1986, then red for two years.
The Porta-Pad II first appeared in the 1989 catalog and it was yellow. They went black in 1997.
To get back on topic: I have a frame grab of a Nova Payloader flying off of an Electro-Launch on a White Lighting Q-Jet:
