I know someone here can - I would be interested in what it says....

Starting in 1937, Article 2104:

........three-wire circuits-one black, one white, one red; four-wire circuits-one black, one white, one red, one yellow;five-wire circuits-one black, one white, one red, one yellow;five-wire circuits-one black, one white, one red, one yellow, one blue."

Who cares what the other electrician "thinks" - he's going to have to test it in any event - as there is no color code - so he will "know".


I'm really curious as to what city this is all happening in...

That may be a good guess, but in no way, shape or form should it be his 'final answer'.
