Decoding info for Canadian ’52 F1

There doesn't seem to be a lot of great information available for the Canadian built trucks. And I probably have too many questions for a single thread, but here goes nothing!

1st plate on the firewall shows
Windsor Ontario
MODEL - F1
TRIM - 13
PAINT-39
SERIAL - BDA83BHP-24572

2nd plate shows
STYLE C2C-81B
BODY NO. 15580
FCBP-1869
39

Primary Color (Paint 39) - At one point I thought the primary color was Glenmist Green, but maybe it is Lakewood Green?

Black secondary Color - Is it safe to assume it is Raven Black?

Engine color - According to the previous owner the engine was rebuilt in the 80s, I assume that is where the Ford dark blue color came from. And I don’t see any hints of the previous color left behind. - Is there any way to figure out the original Engine Color?

Any way to get definitive documentation that is specific to the Windsor plant or Canada?

Really appreciate any and all help. Thanks,
Glen

This link shows a Lakewood Green. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1574526-1951-canadian-ford-f-3-paint-code-92-a.html

Two tone colors are not listed in that link. This stuff was listed in the Chassis Parts Catalogs for trucks built here in the US but Canada did a lot of things different.

Thanks RotorWrench, I will go over there and see if they have any additional leads. Appreciate it.

I don't think Ford's came in two tone, just the Mercury trucks.
