Re: NBC leaf green paint

So, browsing through the Herberts Standox catalogue 1996,I can only find the following listed for NBC:

Grass Green 19438 (leaf green?)
Poppy 19439 (bus red?)
============================
National express white 30142
Bristol bus co green 17858
Wilts & Dorset red 19902
Lothian buses red 30882
London Country green 29882
London Country light grn 35292
=============================
The following LT colours are listed:
LT blue 23345
Brass yellow 17000
Brown 1946 17008
Chocolate brown 17007
Dk chinese green 17004
Indian red 17006
Light stone 16999
Magnolia 17003
Misteltoe gloss 17011
Olive green 17001
Red 16570
Bus red 33127
Sung yellow 17002
London bus red 1989 22999
London bus grey 1989 23000

I've seen an old ICI catalogue which listed a whole host of other LT colours, including pre-war colours, but the chap wouldn't part with it at the time.

Please note these numbers are only for use with Standox paints; other makes might not be able to cross-reference them. There does not appear to be any BS numbers for fleet colours.
