There is one line of Legbar in the US that lays a true, obvious green, they are not very popular. US breeders have heavily selected for blue eggs as preferable over green, though some tint lingers, in sure. There are no lines that lay olive, which is also allowed by the UK standard.
It would be reasonable to assume the tint could come from the Legbar AND/OR the Isabella leghorn side of the equation, IMO.
Here is a photo of my brown leghorn eggs, Isabella leghorn eggs, and a Legbar egg taken a moment ago in my kitchen in overcast daylight from the window.
