I have found that the engine paint color used by British Leyland on the 4 cyl engines in the Austin/ MG/ Morris line of the 60's and 70s is darn close.
You should be able to get an auto parts/paint store to mix that shade for you as they would most likely have "chips/formula ' avail.

Hope this helps
John

Your engine pics look great Fernando! it must have taken a few hours work to get it all looking that good.
The overall colour for all parts is listed as " olive drab flat" and has the Dupont number 1071-050. this is listed on page 18-11 in my TM 10-1563 maintenance manual.

I am also down in Australia ( Tasmania) and am currently fixing up my 1942 closed cab CCKW353A2.
regards, Pete.
