I don't go for 1966 intro, as all examples found by googling of both colours have F plates (Aug 67+). Most are Super (captions, side trim, wider front badge), but a handful of Deluxes in the mix. Blue Mink numbers seem solid at 250, Venetian Gold 250 or 500 according to which source you're looking at. Some hints that these metallics were experimental releases - not sure why/how, but Blue Mink later became famous for peeling off early 1968 Escorts and Cortinas so something was not quite right.
