Hello Fossy,
Yes it's a Pacific Blue Model 45 that was manufactured in the earlier part of 1975 as the engine was made on the 6th of November 1974.
The blue is just a standard machinery Blue that's been used by many machinery manufacturers in the 1970's and 80's. Solver Paints here in South Australia called it Pacific Blue Hammertone. I still suspect that Solver were the paint supplier for all Scott Bonnar mowers built in the 1960's and 1970's, but I've yet to have solid evidence of this. I'm pretty sure that SB would've used a local supplier opposed to an interstate paint company, but we'll never know as all those type of company records were destroyed by Rover when they took over SB in 1980.
Your machine is in rather good order as is the catcher.
The grey is a pretty standard light grey and a 2 pack finish would be great, but remember that as soon as you use the mower that the high points on the roller will lose their paint instantly.
Just a small point on etiquette while writing on forums, please don't use "full capitalisation" as it means you are screaming at the other person. Some people really do get offended by this.
Cheers,
BB.
