I don't know it the number is correct but check it carefully before using, I often test them in a jub of hot water, if you have a thermometer you can even get the temperature right. And tighten it down carefully, it's hard to get it wrong, but i know someone who once cracked the housing and swore it was the 'blue print' thermostats fault. :thumb2

yours was red, but it will not matter if you use blue, Rick

can i mix them ? .... ie just add a bit of blue to top up any lost coolant when i attempt to change the stat ?

yes you can mix them in your motor as you have a cast iron head, if you had an Ali head then no thats what the red is better at, corrosion resistance, but I use red in everything thats why you have it, Rick

Briggie, if you've got red in, why not just get some more red? makes sense.
