Wow! I am impressed. I uploaded a WWII photo of airmen posing in front of their plane and got an amazing result. I’m not certain if WWII era life vests were bright yellow, that seems out of place, but it’s a good guess if not.

Found some that are yellow, not sure how bright we're talking - https://www.ima-usa.com/products/original-u-s-wwii-usaaf-mae...
It also did really well with the different skin tones of the Tuskegee Airmen:

It did not do so well with this grainy photo of soldiers w/ a captured German flag:

If you use the "vintage charm" filter it does a good job with the flag raising at Iwo Jima:

Jaw dropping, that's the approximate shade it used in the picture.

Here is the B&W photo I tested with (I think "base" or "ambient historic" palettes are best):
