JCB 3C III paint colours

I have a 1978 3C III that will eventually need painting (after an awful lot of welding, wiring etc.)
At the moment it's in yellowish rust but what are the correct colours? Looking on here they seem to be:
Chassis = Chrome Yellow CY1353
Wheels & 4in1 Bucket = Post Office Red
Cab = Ford Diamond White all over

Is this correct?

Also, should the front tyres be the 3-rib implement pattern ones or the chevron 'tractor' pattern?

Hello there Paul, this seems to correct, well its what paint i have used on my models over the years... i am still a bit undecided about the diamond white but i have not had any complaints so far.

Mind you, if any one else has other suggestions ?

I tried the Diamond White and found it to be a quite dark shade of white. RJ6245 is the paint code I use.
