ROTJ colours needed

I saw this pic of the an ESB & ROTJ lid on the boards.

The ESB colours look very similar to mine own. However I want to do a ROTJ and would really like to match the colours of this ROTJ lid. Does anyone have a paint list that might come close? I had always intended to use the same colours for both my lids !!!!!

*Humbrol matt 31(main color)
*Humbrol "77 Matt Navy Blue" (Lower cheeks)
*Tamiya "TS 43 Racing green"(rear)
+
*Humbrol enamel 88 (rear) *Use this color to tone down the main green by dry brushing it on lightly.
*Cabboose Flouquil enamel (mandibles)
*Humbrol super enamel 82 (killstripes)
*The misting/weathering was done by mixing some gray enamel with Weathered black and lightly airbrushign it on.
*Discolorations were darkend and lightened Matt 31 Humbrol enamel by mixing white and or weathered black.
*Silver was Hubrol Chrome Silver enamel.
