I have an original black car and there is no color code on the bonnet hinge.
It is a fairly early car also being J2104.

Perhaps the assembly methods changed on later cars and they no longer
needed to identify the bonnets, hence no numbers and colors?

Dave,
my J2 is #4330 and the bonnet hinge has the car number and color 'GR'
stamped on it. It is a November 1933 production car and only 101 cars before
the end of production, which includes the seven cars made in Jan 1934.
Perhaps, the standard color of Black for the body was not stamped on the
hinge and only the optional colours of Green, Blue and Red 'were' stamped on
the hinge. [ How did they identify Black and Blue? ]
Any one out there with an original black or Blue car who can verify this?
Inquiring minds need to know.
Scotty,
Adelaide,Australia.
