My 62 TR4 has a wire bracket in which most of the paint had come off,
but the little bit that was left appeared to match the green of the
original oil filter canisters.
I also have a 71 MGB (I am second owner) in which the washer bracket
is same as you describe: flat band about 3/8" wide and blue. I leave
you to draw your own conclusions.
