Here is the bad news: they all appear white in the image files, which means they are being given color by something, either scripting which one of the UI boys could change or it might be hard coded.

Mind you, I did not spend too much time looking into this, if someone were to dig deeper, they may find I am wrong.

Edit: @ Sober, are you sure that the mechanism used in SHIII for those symbols is the same as SH5?

I think they are hard coded too. I took a glance at them also, and I saw exactly what you described. Theres the Shapes folder which contains SHP files that, when opened with text, looks like jibberish. It look like HEX, but I'm no expert so I'm not sure.
