Would anyone know the paint color number for the color on seat frames, steering column, shifter and brake handle.
Thanks John.

VW-color L71 beige paint can be found on the inside of many of the splits and early ovals.

I used Lada color 509 for my Oval 1953 and is very close to VW color L71.
Regards.

Azurblue export split beetle has the parts light beige/grey, but other colors has light brown.
Not to be too easy the rear luggage rails has different color than other inner parts.
Here the light beige luggage rails for brown export beetle Nov. 1951, other inner parts are light brown. (Forget the hubcaps).

Should be as Mika said : RAL 8025 with a small white addition for the Spilts but I can't see this color in your picture, maybe only the steering wheel which looks darker.
I my early Oval I used the Lada color 509 which came close to the original VW paint.
I'm not sure it's original but I saw pictures of Split/Zwitters which had the same color as my Oval.
Regards.
