Bob, you could use Mike Starmer's Humbrol recipe to mix up a small batch to make your own sample of SCC No.2 to take to a paint seller's computerised colour-matching machine.

Since my Cab 11 was made in May 1940, according to Goods son David Hayward... it owuld be nice to paint the sucker a nice coat of that shitty brown they used back then.
Actually, "that shitty brown" did not come into use as a base tone until 1941, so actually your 1940 Cab 11 should be painted Khaki Green G3 (BS381c No.23 Middle Bronze Green).
