The 38-39 and 40 books should have that information, at least for USA built vehicles. I have both books. Is there a particular detail you are looking for?
The author of the 40 book is also an active participant on this forum so you may get lucky and get information "straight from the horses mouth".

Which year Merc....39 or 40. IF you go on the EFV8 club web page in the "Forums" section under Mercury.....The blue for 1940 was a topic of discussion not to long back....I don't remember IF any code was shared or not but I know the one fellow had the color matched and MAY be willing to share his match. 39 was a gold color, my 39 posted
