I've seen an original sample of this mixture given to Eric Taverner by Skues.
This is reasonably close but still too pink. A little hares ear in the mix and slightly less red would be spot on. However, I don't doubt this mixture would work and Vicuña dubbing should be commended for making this sub available. Their customer service is excellent too.
