I always thought it was just the early six port engines that were Morris Green, 
but I've been known to be wrong :).  As with all things Healey there are damn 
few absolutes!

Gary,

The paint that I have found under all of the grease on my 1C motor,
1C-H/37718 as well as the transmission has been the Healey Green. As
far as we can tell this motor has never been out of the car. Are we
sure that it should be Morris Green?

You can see it in these shots,
