Will's got a good point here.
For the red, I'd start with plain 'ol Polly Scale Caboose Red (though if fresh, I think their Signal Red would be better. As for the green, you got me there.
On this note, does anyone know of a good color match for EL "structure red?" It seems to be a bit of a faded red, and I can't think of a good match here. I'd prefer Polly Scale colors...
