I have Lady of Meginch. The rose is actually a very unusual color in my garden. It's kind of a dark raspberry sorbet sort of color. It's lighter in color that Sopie's rose, just a tad. And it has less blue in it than Noble Anthony, just a tad. And the flowers seem to fade or darken hardly at all. It's definitely not red. And it's too dark to be pink. To describe it as rose would make it too mauve. But it's not quite coral. Sort of right on the cusp of coral and rose.

The shape of the flower on LoM seems less old rose to me than many Austin introductions. My impression is that your NOID looks nothing like the Lady of Meginch in my own garden. I think that the petals on NOID are too narrow. And they appear to fade and blue visibly as they age. Doesn't mean it can't be the same rose, but I sort of doubt it.
When you dance with nature, try not to step on her toes.
