Always on the lookout for different kinds of vintage battery, I came across this example today on the Radio Museum website. Has anyone seen one in this colourway? and was the whole range (HT and LT) available? And does anyone have any idea of the dates when this particular version was on the market?

With reference to previous queries it would seem that the green Exide dates from the late 50s/early 60s, and the Red/Grey was later, mid 60s onwards, presumably until production ceased.

I've had a go at the artwork for a light blue DM526 which I will post if you think it ever existed
