That looks like it.  I had made a mental note to search for images of the Paget 
pattern later but you've done it for me.  You're right that the Dufaycolor 
pattern matches.  The description of the manufacturing process seems to fit 
with the order of layers I observed.

There are lots of PDFs linked towards the bottom of the page so I might have a 
fair bit of reading to do.

Much appreciated :)  I owe you a virtual beer.

Cheers,
Dave
