Re: X47 in green - two photos

Brunswick Green was one of those British Standard Colours that were the
standard for many years. Brunswick Green was the dark green on M&MTB buses,
complementing the standard Larch Green which I am told was the original
colour of Melbourne's Trams. This latter green, later became Hawthorn Green
and in the end was a colour called Tramways Panel Green by the manufacturer
Dulux,
