Default British UC seat cushions

Does anyone have an original TL numbered UC seat cushion? I need a Loyd one, but figured a UC one would be more likely to be found. I want to nail down the leatherette colour. I think it's a dark green, but have never seen one from a British machine, always CTL parts.

The NOS cushions that I acquired some years ago are green. They have a very faint TL number (not CTL). I can't see a date or makers name though. I also have an original seat back cushion but would have to remove it to see any markings. Ron

Speak to Jim Clark, he has an almost perfect match for the green rexine used on the original British seats. It's not actually rexine but the match is very good.
