I agree with Murf it certainly looks as though you just need to fit the right colour shells.
Have you managed to find any paint remnants at all Acro?

Not yet Ted it will be Friday until I get chance to have a go and see if I can see anything, and it's doing my head in not being able to solve the problem straight away 🤣
Bryanj:
Have you tried looking for the size codes on the crank?
Acro1985:
Hi Bryan
The only thing I could make out on the crank was A1, and the code on the back of the crank case is BBBBB. I am going to give everything a good with petrol and a soft brush and see if that reveals anything else
Bryanj:
You should find 4 letters and 5 numbers, sometimes on different webs sometimes all on one
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
The markings can be like a sort of invisible ink - catch the crank web in the right sort of light and you might find them - some light sources are better than others - my garage is LED strip lighting.
When I found some of mine I tried to take a photo - it just did not photograph being so feint.
