Type 2 Color Combinations
 Original paint and upholstery combinations can be determined from the 'M' code plate.  Numbers or words that appear in ( ) are the codes contained on the 'M' plate.   Early vehicles have text for the paint color(s) instead of number(s) and they may be in German or English. 'L' codes were normally also placed directly below the 'M' plate on an adhesive label.   Colors from previous years could normally be ordered (and many people duplicate that action by restoring their vehicles using another year's paint schema).  Vehicles were also available in Primer, code 29 or 49, for companies or individuals that desired a unique painting scheme.
