Im sure we have discussed this many times Bob. Back in the day there was more than one place printing the stripes. So there was variations of colours. So there is a chance mine are different to what your remember 30 years ago. My DY2 we got the sample colour from a guard that was removed in 1980 off a HZ so the bloke could fit GTS guards. Be stashed in the shed ever since. Photo below to show we have them exact.
Its also very possible that HX/HZ colour of the DY2 stripes was different slightly. afterall this was a 4-5 year stint of the same stripes being printed. There is a chance that extra store stock was a different shade also.... Impossible now to know sadly.
A photo if you get one taken. Will not be the colour in the flesh obviously. Digital images depending on the computer/screen and also camera will change colours in a big way.
Saying that if you ever did want a darker colour printed then let us know. We can do once off prints. Its not a simple thing to do with screen printing! that's for sure! But it can be done at a cost....
