Morris Minor Van 1966 paint

Hi All

I have a 1966 van in restoration.

I have seen some photographs of vans painted a cream colour inside or "Stone " as i have read. Was this a paint process for some vans at a particular time ? If so when were vans painted the same colour outside and inside ? I guess this was to save time and money at the production stage.
Does anyone know the colour code for the cream/stone paint?

Thank you

No. Antelope is a body colour and quite different. The stone paint if I remember correctly was more of an creamy/off white colour and not gloss. Somebody with more knowledge of vans will know I'm sure.

Antelope (paint) became available later.

Any chance of chassis/cab number please?
