From April '52 to mid '58 the third letter of the chassis number showed the shade of paint but not necessarily the exact colour eg:

A = Black B = Light grey C = Dark red D = Dark blue E = Mid green F = Beige G = Brown H = CKD finish (primer) J = Dark grey K = Light red L = Light blue P = Ivory R = White S = Mid grey T = Light green U = Dark green

The traveller colours available in '57 were: black, dark green, clarendon grey and birch grey.
