I guess I'm not 100% which part you're talking about. Do you have a picture? Or can you find one online?

I think they mean this:

White is the answer, not sure about the exact code, looks alot like Pastel white, likely any off white from the hardware store would do if you just want a spraybomb.

pastel white (L90D) would have been the go-to white from the factory for your roof and bumpers.

I'd go with that to keep the different shades of white to a minimum -- i rattle can'd my power outlet with a krylon white a few years ago and instantly regretted not having L90d paint made at a local paint shop. I eventually painted it to match the rest of the l90d in the van and it smoothed it out visually.

I have a '71. If the body is L90D are the bumpers the same as the body?
