The description "Off White" for the trim color suggests that it was perhaps originally "Grey" from the factory. That was an available option for a Colorado Red car but relatively rare. Photos of the interior would answer that question.
The engine number quoted (29K/RU/H15432) does not appear original to the chassis number quoted (31692). Rather, it would be original to a chassis number somewhere around 40591 (engine 29K/RU/H15425) or 29K/RU/H15436 (chassis 40757). The original engine for chassis 31692 would be close to 29K/RU/H6484 (chassis 31688).
The build date quoted (15 September 1967) also appears incorrect. Chassis 31688 was built 14 - 20 May 1965. Chassis 31698 was built 7 - 11 May 1965.
