Does anyone know if the brown on the brown and ivory one is a Lechler colour?

Which colour do you think it is?...i know from experience that those samples are nothing like the actual colours.
The slots are 16mm x 80mm, 15mm up from the bottom edge and 60mm in from the rolled edge and they have a slight lip on the inside edge pointing inwards.

brown isnt listed here as a colour option and ivory was only avalible for the tv series 1

Thanks i read somewhere that some late TV1s had light brown sidepanels and horncasts, not sure if this was done by the factory or dealers, so just wondered if the series 1 in the picture was a copy of this.............im restoring a TV1 and wouldnt mind doing it a bit different to the usual ivory.

8044 looks closest to what you want but you really need to see a colour chip first ...perhaps its a question better placed on lcgb
