Hi Rich;B  Why not get in touch with SCP who currently make the original
Armstrong Lever Arm Shock Absorber.B  According to their website [

b In 1997 SCP acquired its own manufacturing facility with the purchase of
the Armstrong lever arm shock absorber plant for OEM Taxi, Metrocab and
classic car production.B B  Two years later the Monroe suspension link
production line was added together with a manufacturing facility capable of
producing a wide range of suspension components and general turned parts.B B 
SCP manufacture the original Armstrong Lever Arm Shock Absorber for
Applications such as Austin Healey, MG, Triumph as well as the FX4 and
Metrocab Taxis.b
I would imagine they would be the best current source to determine the
significance of copper or gold coloured shocks.

Over the years I've observed a lot of copper coloured shocks on big Healeys

the BMC "Gold Seal Factory Replacement" scheme of the period. However, I've
seen Gold Seal remanufactured items and they were painted gold, not copper.
