The engine has reminants of a darker green more like Hunter Green. Thanks

If they painted the engines in Canada the same way they were painted in the USA, the same color would be used on the entire engine (valve cover down to the pan). Over the past 50 years that engine might have had a few rebuilds/repaints.
