Not quite correct chaps.
100/130 is the standard terminology for Avgas in most Countries that do not apply the UK Defence standard DERD2485 (or its equivalent) terminology to fuels.
There are two grades of 100/130 produced; namely 100/130 (dyed green) and 100/130 Low Lead. The latter has exactly the same specs as the stuff we know as 100LL, and is also dyed blue. I would be very surprised if the fuel is not in fact 100/130 Low Lead

The max lead content of the green stuff is .85gPb/l, and the blue stuff .56gPb/l. Therefore, the green stuff has approx 50% more lead in it.
