I may be wrong but I believe the front is a modified Alpine crossmember but the rear is particular to a Tiger and was probably bought in as near as was availible at the time?

If you struggle try classiccarpaints.com or vintagepaint.com who both supply celly and will match to samples. Painting celly is so easy but solvent based 2k will last longer.
