Yes, according to the information at:
http://www.mgcars.org.uk/namgbr/paint.htm
you are right. It must be Teal Blue (and this was one of two colors that I
thought it might be).
However, according to the information at:
http://teglerizer.com/mgcolors/#Blue%20colo
they seem to state that many for the colors were used for many years. Most
of them state the whole production run of 1963-80.
