but can you shed any light on the colour scheme? Is it correct?
Hello Carnut
Alas, I'm not a collector, and am unsure of the colours here.
They do seem original, and the colours are recognised Victa colours.
Is there any trace of paint on the catcher?

Also, I picked up ANOTHER Victa last night.........that's what happens, I guess, when you get home early and get on Gumtree, lol! Can you also identify this one for me please?
This is an interesting one ... dating to 1963.
Note the bi-fold handles - a first, world-wide.
[A lost feature in today's market].

I would think this is a Consul 2: -
