the only vanagons which were tornado red was 90-91- the wolfsburg-carats (the
carat with wolfsburg badges on the front and carat name on the hatch - they
were always tornado red) and a few 91 GL's

as for the dark burgundy - its called Bordeaux.   actually Bordeaux pearl
metallic, though i dont see any "pearl" in it.  it was used on some 88-89
wolfsburgs and carats, and most 90-91 GL's and Carats and westys.

then there is Titian red..  which is the red metallic that was used from
'85-'89 on the GL pass vans, and '87-'89 on the westys..
