As above S1 RST had bronze and S2 RST had green tint.

My S2 has bronze tint as I fitted S1 opening rear windows and wanted it all to match so chnaged the door glass as well as the tailgate.

My 1981/2 MK3 XR3 has orgional bronze tint glass with non-opening rear 1/4's. I think the blue tint you refer to is just ordinary glass. Ford do some weird stuff with their glass. I had some late-spec FRST opening quaters and they were clear, not green tint like the other RST onesI had.
