|
|
So I just got a 61 Panel (yay!) Maybe someone can assist with the colors based on my M Code?
16 01 1
• January 16, 1961
360
• North American Export
UZ 211 GRBY 717377
• Charleston
• Cargo doors right, left hand drive
• This is where I'm lost. Based on the format of XXYYZZ XX=Lower YY=Upper ZZ=Interior I come up with GR = Light Grey = L-345
So, why are there only 4 digits and what color is "BY"? |

The seller’s photo isn’t clear, so it looks like I made a rookie mistake. I thought that was a “B” because I was thrown off by the XXYYZZ designation on the M Code technical article. Thanks for the photo of your grey one. Seller is delivering today so I’ll have a chance to see if there’s any grey paint left anywhere on this rusty relic I’m looking forward to putting it back to stock.

Is this a 64 or 61? First number in the bottom right code is a 1 (1961), and the date code on the top left only has two digits (04 9). I believe it is a 64, but some clarification would be appreciated--Thanks.
