Default SADF Brown - colour standard wanted

I am having trouble getting correct colour matching for a 1970's "South African Defence Force" vehicle.

Have tried matching by eye using online colour charts, but my attempts have produced 8 litres of the wrong colour, which is far too light.

Also Would be interested in a colour match for the bronze green used on Land Rovers built in the South African, Leyland assembly plant in 1974.

It is not the "bronze green" listed by some manufacturers for Land Rover 1958 to 1989 as there is at least 2 different bronze green colours in that period.

And

It is not the "deep bronze green" of the Series one and Series 2 era.

I'm thinking it may be "middle bronze green" (BSC 381: 223) but would like some confirmation before I spend more dollars getting the wrong colours mixed.
