lol I'll try this again times I think one thing and my hands type another...anyway the cutout your talking about is for a plain black plastic bezel that sits in the cut out, then there's a multi color thin piece of plexi that is formed to just sit on the B/W crt,
 
On the handful of (Midway) uprights I've had over the years.......the orange strip at the top of the monitor was a very thin cellophane/gel adhered to the face of the CRT. The green coloring at the bottom of the screen was a "static cling" type of gel. I've probably had four, and all were like this.

All the (Midway) Space Invaders Deluxe uprights were and actual "hard" overlay. They are taped to the black cardboard surround.

The color overlay on the cocktail should be a stiff plastic material. I still have mine, but looking for a new one. Mine seemed to stick to the CRT and some of the green pulled off.
