The b+w Pertwee episode that include his regeneration was shown last
month on CT public TV.  It includes the famous "shower scene"  (but I
didn't notice the tattoo.)

Apparently, New Jersey Network has purchased the color copies of the Pertwee
episodes. It seems that they were recently found and they have not been shown
in the US in color.

Nope. CT Public TV has been showing B&W and Colour Pertwees (e.g. Inferno)

In the New Jersey Network program guide, Eric Luskin
writes that New Jersey Network is the first to show 
the first few past the original episode, so I assume
that "Spearheads in Space" (The first Pertwee) has existed
in the US for quite a while now.

     "Did you believe them, Doctor?"
     "No, I didn't, and they know I didn't, but I
      know that they know I didn't, and they know
      that I know that they know I didn't, and..."
     "All right, Doctor, all right..."
