Default Canadian built production codes

Hey guys, I’ve got two Canadian built shoeboxes now(my 50 fordor and I just picked up a 51 meteor country squire) the production codes do appear to be different on the Canadian cars vs American built cars, I know for a fact that the colour codes are different and based on the colour samples I’ve found it’s hard to tell exactly what colour my cars are based on the years, the 50 is a light metallic blue which I thought was Bimini blue, the wagon is a dark metallic green
Does anybody have any info on Canadian cowl codes? I have the early ford club restorers guide but it only has American codes listed

49-50 Canadian body parts book lists paint code #40 to be Alpine Blue
The 1951Canadian body parts book lists code #31 as being Starlight Green Metallic. I have both these books for sale if you're interested.

Was alpine blue only used in Canada in 1950? Starlight green doesn’t seem to be listed at all in the book
I am interested yes
