Welcome to KCA !
You're in for a roller coaster ride as a new kombi owner.......many great times ahead as well as challenging times.
I'm not familiar with the early buses and their details but many on here are, hopefully they'll chime in.
Many kombis have had their original colours changed and it's not unusual to have paint codes on plates that do not resemble the current colour.
Ask as many questions as you like....preferably in the appropriate Splitty section.

Every challenge you'll face has been dealt with before by someone here.
Enjoy the ride
Cheers,
Mark

Very nice!
As Mark said, every chance that the paint colour has been changed from the original plated code, sometime over the years.

Most of the panelshops have a tool that breaks the colour into tinters used and can match the colour even if it isn't a factory colour.
