Most people use India red & guards red interchangeably. LM3A is India Red according to my chart. 80K is Guards red.

Just noticed on that page that 82 and 83 LM3A was Guards Red then after that it was India Red.

You learn something every day.

Go by the code, not the name. What was called Guards Red in English was called Indischrot (Indian Rad) in German.
