The NAMC’s “Catalog of all Series Matchbox Models” (second edition) notes three colours: rich cream, cream, and white. If the rich cream is Nick’s cream, and the cream is Nick’s off-white, what is the white?
None of AIM's “1-75 Series Regular Wheels” catalogue (second printing, 1983), Stannard, Houghton, or Leake ("Concise Catalogue of 75 Series Matchbox Toys by Lesney" (4th edition, reprinted 2006)) lists any variation not already catalogued by Nick.
U.K. Matchbox did not examine the model.

The differences in the shades are very slight and they are based on the individual assessment of the collector. I am enclosing some shade variations
a) rich cream
b) cream
c) off white
d) white
