I think it would be too costly to paint the frames.  You could do this
yourself, or the aluminum should loose some of the shine over time.  The
photo was taken using a flash, so the glare is exaggerated.

As for the years the screens fit, I based this on parts listings from some
of my German suppliers that show different part numbers for the sliding door
window from 1985 on.  As soon as I can find an early Westy to try our
replacement on, I may be able to list the screens as fitting all years.

I have tried our non Westy screens on quite a few different years, from 1980
to 1990 and they fit all years.
