evening gents, I finally got the engine running in my series 2 this evening and so I can continue with my restoration, my question is though, what colour should be engine be?

its a 1966. 2 1/4 diesel. 88 inch

I have been told duck egg blue but I always thought that was the colour of the military ones?

please enlighten me
 
I always thought the duck egg blue used on military engines was also used on the 3 bearing 2.25 civilian engine, with the later 5 bearing engines changing to red - Mines a 1975 S3 and it has an original engine that is duck egg blue
 
I think the serial number of the engine from a set number meant 5 bearing, will have a quick search as I've seen it on a website.
