1948-52 code M is meadow green, according to the chart in the link above. The number 20 belongs to something else. Probably the date code in the production code, 20 and whatever letter is to the right of it. Do you want to share a picture of it?

Here's Meadow Green. Hard to get a real true color tone in photos. Kind of a dark green with a touch of gray.
