Re: 1956 Packard Executive in France

If your Executive engine had Packard script rocker covers then I would presume they picked them straight out of the parts bin and went with the same 56 Packard colors used on the covers of other 56 senior engines. The 56 Packard rocker colors were silver with red script on a bronze engine while 55 Packards had black with creme script and an ivory engine.
I don't have anything showing an original Executive engine compt. I had read somewhere that other than emblems, a senior front end, and changing to Packard cued side trim they did very little else to the Clipper Custom when making it a Packard. If they kept the Clipper green engine then possibly they could have done something special with the rocker covers but doubt they did.
Here are a couple of photos showing the engine of what is purported to be an original and very low mileage 56 Four Hundred.
