Most, if not all, Mark 1 Rubies had the window frames painted in a second colour, which is the case here. Usually this would be black to contrast with the main body colour; I suspect here the main body colour is black, in which case I would guess the window frames are Westminster Green to match the upholstery.
I have encountered several cars with the original paint finish over the years, and from my experience the frames have always been normal gloss, but this photo doesn't show any reflections in the frame paint, which rather suggests it is a matte finish in this case. Most interesting, and a super photo.
