If you are going to do a cutaway I would add the framing for the crew beds as they became storage racks later in the war for electronics and radar gear. You can leave out the crew beds as they were removed very quickly once they entered service. The rear crew compartment floor should be varnished plywood as should be the upper gunners pedestal. Canopy framing was interior green on the inside also. The bomb aimers seat back and all other surfaces paint in Interior green. The interior of the tunnel was padded also. The forward and rear upper gun turret bodies were wrapped in the padding for noise insulation, so paint these dark green. Paint all vertical surfaces including the pressure bulkheads that face inwards towards the crew sections in the forward, crew and tail gunners sections Dark Green. Here's my painting tips from after spending hundreds of hours restoring " Miss America 62" at the Travis AFB museum and looking at hundreds of Boeing photos from their archives. Makes it harder for the modeler who likes to be precise, but that's just the way it is. As you can see by the interior photos of Enola on my web page, there are all kinds of shades of green, depending on the part and its composition (wood, metal, etc.) There's a fair amount of bare zinc chromate as well, and at least for the Silverplate birds, the aft compartment plywood finish was specified as varnish over natural plywood, which you can see in the Countermeasures position photos. However, it's still a work in progress and will likely remain so for years to come. The Enola Gay had another year of active duty after the Hiroshima drop, but then went to storage in three different locations until it was finally restored and reassembled at Udvar-Hazy, so it escaped most of the routine maintenance like painting the interior of the bomb bays. The difficulty, of course, is that many of these airframes have been through a lifetime of maintenance, so backing out some of the additions to reach a particular configuration date (like 6 August 1945) has been a continuing battle with sometimes conflicting research results that require more study. It helps that the Smithsonian has an excellent lab for such work, and we're fortunate to have many of the original Silverplate B-29 drawings in the archives that give the paint composition and colors. Well, I can't speak for the other museums, but we spend a great deal of time analyzing paints and colors before we restore anything. Normally I avoid using museum restorations as color guides, especially for interiors, but I believe Enola Gay is still pretty much original inside.
