If your current carpet is hessian backed it's likely to be Karvel, which means the closest match you'll find in terms of appearance would be from Newton Commercial but be aware that it's about 1/3 the height of the original in terms of pile depth.

I believe later cars had a rubber backed more modern like carpet meaning anything that looks right would do, even from a carpet shop, the same would likely be the case if your car ever had new carpets fitted.

This is also presuming there was just the one green colour for carpets, my suspicion would be there was, and that anything darker than what I've seen would be a replacement.

Newton commercial only list one green carpet which chimes with what I thought. https://newtoncomm.co.uk/pages/morris-minor-swatches

Various new carpet sets also available on eBay.

You can't get the original type of carpet any more. The factories haven't made it for ages.
