The Moss catalog (for the TR6, at least) has DuPont and Ditzler(?) numbers
cross-referenced for all of the TR6 colors. I don't know how "true" they
are, but the one I got seemed to be spot-on.
And speaking of the one I got, I happened to be using a dealer who didn't
use DuPont *or* Ditzler, so we had to look up those numbers in his cross-
reference book to get the RM (BASF) number. He also had a book containing
a section for "Rover, Jaguar", and although not listed specifically, many
of the Triumph and MG colors were listed there (having the exact same
numbers as my TR6 chart.)
