What is the significance (if any) of these light blue markings on these cones? They are metric threaded and date from before 1990 but we’re fitted to my ‘73 1275GT.

They were once fitted to a car that was sprayed Aqua?

Hmm. No Aqua paint anywhere on the car.

But it LOOKS like the white assembly grease (is it assembly grease?) is painted OVER the aqua paint

Here are some more blobs of paint. This begins to suggest to me that the paint spots were for easy recognition of otherwise similar looking parts.

Also orange helper springs as fitted to later hydrolastic cars. Not to mention the colour coded displacer units.
