I don't believe the information as stated has anything to do with Canadian publications vs US publications. I think the difference in colour names is best explained as I tried to articulate about a year ago in this very thread. I also supplied a link to the very chart you just posted.
My post from a year go states:
'The confusion lies in the fact GM offered the same colour formula across all the divisions. This same colour hue could be called slightly different names across any given division. So the Island Teal could perhaps be a Chevrolet term to describe the same Oldsmobile colour as Frost Teal. However code F for 1968 is the exact same colour across all divisions that offered it in 68. GM also used “WA” numbers back then to document and still do today. They didn’t usually publish the WA numbers back then though and I cannot locate the WA for 1968 code F, but I can tell you that my 68 Olds Toro is code K with a WA3761 as a “WA”.
If you compare this PPG paint chart for 68 Chev, you will notice code F as Island Teal. Take notice how this Chev code F and the Olds code F use the same PPG mix number. This is the number one would use to mix the colour. They are same colour…just the name is slightly changed for the marketing departments of each division."
