Default What colour would a Navy box be?

I’m in the process of repairing an Admiralty pattern Avo 2 panel tester which has its original box, which was in a poor state and had previously been badly painted. It is now stripped back glued back together and repaired. It is currently in Grey primer and I would like some advice on what the correct colour to finish it should be.
It appears they were in either BS381 697 light Admiralty Grey or Dark Grey 632 probably with a satin finish, I deduced this from another Navy spares box I have which was in better condition.
Any help would be appreciated.
Chris
