Beryl Green busses?

Looking for pics of Beryl green busses/kombis if anyone has any?

I think our 61 Split was Beryl green, going from the colour on the dash, but haven't ever seen a bus in this colour before, so interested to see what it looks like since ours has been painted over:

We would like to return him to his original colour and condition. Beryl Green microbusses would be even better!

Just a guess but I'm thinking it might be Mango green?

yeah there's some debate on the colour:

But I belive that Beryl is the most year correct? Still open to suggestions though. I'll get some better pics of it when I see it again in a few weeks time.

I think they must have used a saw and a large hammer to fit the (Beetle) fuel gauge! :(

I've been told that Beryl Green was used from 60-64 and was then replaced by Birch Green? Ours is a 61.
