I have a Lechler book with Piaggio colours, Verde Met (metallic green)Year 1950 Code 1211/M or 8003, Year 1951 Code 1212/M or 8004.

It also has blue & grey from that era, possibly the other colours in your picture.

I'm not sure the difference in the code number and the formula number (80**) but for Lammy paints I have used the 80 numbers and it's woked fine.

Hope this helps - I wouldn't make up too much on your first tin though just in case.
