Not in all cases. From what I've been able to gather the HJ ute interior of the tray was a plant specific finish. My Melbourne ute is/was originally vynacote, much as I don't like it I've kept it the way it was.

But hey, it's a personal thing. You do the back of your ute whatever way you want it! Most people aren't all that rapt in vynacote in utes but it is a much more durable finish.

Which is why I'm doing mine in colour flek (you have trouble finding scratches in it!)

It's funny, but now that you mention it I think my Dads HQ tray was a grey colour. I put it down to bad memory because the ute was white and I assumed the tray was just stained and dirty from use, but the more I think about it I recall a distinct line where the colour changed. Wish I had some good pics of it.
