Havent been back to the auto lecs, but I found a page on Bussmann fuses and they call the type we are after FLF-S
Ive edited the colours in the above post to reflect protecting the cables by their maximum current rating, and should give a safety margin, but.....
If I convert the blowing times that Jon gave above, to the graph supplied with the FLF fuses its quite different.
Black FLF is rated at 80A, and with a fault of 190A will blow in about 5 sec.
Red FLF rated at 50A, with a fault of 130A will blow in about 2 sec.
Green FLF rated at 40A, with a fault of 80A will blow in about 2 sec.
So maybe we can substitute colour for colour?
It also stands to reason that our 65A alternators are protected by the 1.25 FL, which if we go by the current rating of the white wire supplying it, is about 51A, but if we go by the fusing time of the factory FL, it can take an 80A FLF
