A few sources of info
The Saab Way lists B6 as hussar blue, available 1967-1969, and shows middle blue used 1970-1972(no code shown for middle blue in this book)
The factory manual shows B6L, B7H, and B7L all as middle blue, which means there were variants(different shades) for the same name thru the production runs.
Glasurit paint chips show SAA B6 as hussar blue for 1967 and shows a variance chip coded SAA B06 for 1969. The chips look pretty close in color. The chip for middle blue SAA B7 is definitely a darker blue than the hussar blue. The chart also mentions all colors were "einschichtlack" or single coat lacquer.
The PPG mix code I found for hussar blue is 6984, and I found two PPG codes for middle blue - 8242 and 14286.
I can't seem to find any useful info for any Dupont mix codes.
