Looks correct to me. I think the only mention of engine color was in the parts manual and a couple of tech bulletins. There were also some 55 senior service engines that apparently went out with turquoise (blue as Packard called it) instead of ivory so who knows if any of those were installed but not repainted as Packard suggested.

You might mention on your chart that the 55 turquoise and 56 turquoise are thought to be different. Hirsch has repro'd 55 but apparently there is some different opinions on what was correct for 56 so to the best of my knowledge no one has repro'd the 56 turquoise.
