I am pretty certain that all "Peaks" (44,45,46) received standard Rail Blue livery. However by the end of their working lives weathering would have made them appear much lighter than when first painted. Many photographic films also tend to lighten the shade of Rail Blue which makes accurate colour matching even more difficult.
I think model paints generally try to replicate the ex-works version of a particular colour.
