The only vaguely similar 2-tone combo available in the US seems to be the one circled. Fawn Beige over Suntan Copper.

The lower colour shown looks darker than in your photos, but I have the Trax model and the lower body colour does look a little more pink than in your pics. The roof colour on the Australian version looks like Harlequin Blue (the lower colour to the left of my circled combo).

In Canada I never saw this car with the secondary color laid in below the trunk lid; it was always the main body color.
