Do you know anyone at a body shop that uses PPG or one of the other big players? They can match just about anything. They matched my so called Tahiti Blue to a Honda color Supermarine blue which is probably what it was painted when it was redone. If you're nice to them you can sometimes get them to mix a pint for a small thing like a trunk lid. I find driving in with the car starts a conversation that can lead to help.
The Mini Forum has a reasonable list of the colors and codes but you'll still need to cross match with a US supplier.

A good paint supplier can match the paint without a paint code. Most of the places now have a machine that they sit on the car, and it will print out a paint formula to make the color you want.

The paint codes from Dupont list several Sand glow yellows.
Be careful because one is too orange and the other too beige.
In 1979 before my Mini went Corvette blue it was resprayed "Sandglow Yellow" Austin Marina... really sandy beige not yellow.
The painter did not know that there was a difference between Austin Mini and Austin Marina...
Sandglow is almost the colour of French's mustard.
