Armand,
I did do that, and Tower did look up those codes, and the footnotes on
those codes. Their books show that these numbers are a close match using
their standard pigments. They are not a match, just a close second. If
you're repainting the entire car, then close may be good enough, and
depending upon your taste maybe better. But, not the "same". The Rootes
codes the used in enamel are the correct color. Although I must confess
that after 32 odd years, the paint might not be just like it came from
the factory.
