That was (nearly) my whole point about K III - each key _has_ a different
colour but the tuner uses a C-based scale of intervals regardless. As I said
earlier, Milton are in B, and I see from WAH's analysis of Houston Tx. that
they are in G, but both use the C intervals and not B or G respectively.

I have certainly analysed Milton (old & new). I was a bit surprised to
find what appeared to be fairly heavy 'skirting' on at least one of the new ones!

We really do need someone prepared to shout 'Horseshit' occasionally (see 
Robert Townsend - Up The Organisation').
