<x-charset iso-8859-1>> What appears on your site as Sumatra Green for '73, is identical (or as close through monitor technology) as the Field Green I found on the paint site previously. I think the English names are normally simply translations of the German words, though I have a feeling the odd one may be different (can't think of any example at the moment - no time to look up the details either). They are listed in the 'English' parts book with USA spellings, so there's not much doubt who they are aimed at! Sumatra is a very vivid green (as befits a tropical jungle) unlike the more gentle Elm green that in any case isn't a '73 colour. I think you will find '17' stamped across the end of the 3" x 1/2" painted plate on the front panel under the hood when you get back to your car, to prove it's Sumatra green L61B (original paint assumed).
