Kina Lillet or Lillet Blanc?

Like the infamous Vesper, should a #2 be mixed with Kina Lillet or Lillet Blanc? On the Cocchi Americano page, that's listed as an ingredient for it.

Now, as is well known these days, the old Kina Lillet hasn't been made in years and the modern Lillet Blanc is claimed to not be the same thing. Cocchi Americano then jumps in as a supposed replacement for the old recipe Kina Lillet. I have Blanc and Cocchi, I can confirm they're not the same and I'd also go with the Telegraph's description of the Vesper as "harsh [and] not-very-balanced" – at least when made with the Cocchi.

So what is it for Corpse Revivers? I'm guessing the original recipe was written around Kina Lillet? Should a modern one be mixed with Cocchi as an emulation of it? Or is it, like the Vesper, rather improved by using the Lillet Blanc instead – and can we get a modern source to confirm this. A better source at least than at present, where it blithely references the 1930 Savoy Cocktail Book recipe but includes a tonic wine variety that just wasn't around then.
