i think it its teal blue to be honest but will probably be resprayed in trafalgar blue

It looks like trafalgar blue to me, teal blue is brighter.
Why is the indicator stalk on the left?

Agree it's Trafalgar Blue - owned by a left handed person?

its darker than trafalgar blue because the dash is trafalgar blue and i have no idea why the indicator stalk is on the left

There were two different shades of trafalgar blue used on the minor, the later one (1968 onwards) was lighter, so it's possible it was originally the lighter shade but has been resprayed in the more common darker shade.
