No, 3A was definitely blue in the 1960s, IME. I think the change to red took place in the 1970s. Perhaps it was when the flex colour code changed from red/black/green - not sensible to have a blue (neutral) coded item in the line conductor.
Original, as in 1947? Like others I've never seen colours other then blue, red, brown and black, and I've never seen blue being anything other than 3 amp.
