Dunno if moly can be present without the dark colour; know of no engine or gearbox oils dark as new.
Moly used not to be recommended for running in, or for synchro gearboxes.
Most gearbox teeth and bearing faiures are from spalling; a fatigue process which boundary lubrication little influences.
How old are the printed articles?
Moly certainly seems to work in modern ball joints etc. Probably ideal for the likes of Seven kingpins where any wear is troublesome.
