Actually, I guess I still don't have all the colors.  I have only one Burgundy.  I am not sure which shade it is, but it has a black section.  Does that mean it is the earlier, lighter shade of burgundy?   Also, if I just find a Burgundy with a matching section, will that necessarily be the later, darker shade?

Black section would not necessarily be telling as it could be a replacement.  Matching section would be sure.  When you have both then you can tell side by side - very close shades.

Trying to recall if lighter or darker is matching. Lighter burg is the PFM shade?

My darker one has a matching section.  I don't recall seeing a lighter colored one with a matching section.

As far as I can work out the "nominal" burgundy seemed as variable as a wine from that venerable region !! TM TD burgundy was different to early snorkel, early different to late, early Imperial different to later Imperial.....btw my Fern sports a black section now ...but it came with a sage section..so I'll happily live with that !! While semi relevant I rarely see Aust. Snorkels with matching sections ( I'm yet to see one in the "new colours" regardless of section), I have one in grey.

New burgundy is darker than the original.  My new burgundy is pretty close to my touchdown Imperial IV though that is a touch darker still.  The later cartridge Imperials are much lighter.

Nevermind. Figured it out: "Aust." means Australian.
