Subject: [Leica] Proper Hood for 135 Tele-Elmar?

This question is for the hood experts:

I just picked up a 135 Tele-Elmar (M), sn 221xxxx.

I assume the appropriate hood is the 12575.....which I gather is 'two
tone'.  Correct?

Is there a 'single tone' (i.e., all black) hood available?

I've also seen hoods listed as 12575N.  What does the 'N' stand for, if
anything?

Can the 12575 be carried reversed on a capped lens? 

Is the 14033 'hood cap' for this purpose?

And finally, can the rubber 11250 hood on my 90mm Tele-Elmarit 331xxxx
be used on this 135 without causing vignetting?  (Not that I'm sure I
want to, because this rubber hood always seems to be deforming in my
bag.)

(I gather the 12575 can also be used on the 90 T.-E.)

Thanks to all for your help.

(btw....if someone has a 12575 -- or a 14033 if I need it -- they want
to sell, please contact me off-list.)
