Neil is correct on all counts. As far as buried parts such as floor pans, it has been my experience to see a brown primer mostly. The sill plate and door jam areas receive the body color. So some of the body color is present on the floor pans close to sills. Towards the middle of the car there is just primer on the floor pans.
Over the years one of the easiest ways to identify a car that may have been repainted and the door tag altered is to remove the sill plate and lift up the carpet near the sill plate. Most painters mask off near the sill and the original color remains on the floor boards. Not always, but I have seen it many times.
And I bet this would vary from plant to plant like Neil says!
