Will be interested to hear other thoughts on the subject.

Note that when period references are made to "a dark blue colour for Ford V8 engines", they are referring to the 221ci engine fitted to Ford Cars and Trucks up to 1946. The 239ci engine was referred to as the "Mercury engine", as this was fitted to Mercury Cars and Trucks (incl CMPs) from '39 onwards, and was painted dark green.
