Need thoughts...what color is this?

[krzewinskibe]

Working on my 1929 Tudor and trying to figure out exactly what color it originally was.

it was repainted some god awful blue at some point in its life, but I found the original color under the carpet which I think should be lower body color. I *think* its Bonnie Grey, however according to the model A Ford Paint and Finish Guide, they ceased using that color in April 1929. This car's serial number (matching frame and engine) indicate an Oct 1929 car.

The corresponding upper body color for Bonnie Grey is supposed to be Chelsea Blue which is very greenish per the paint and finish guide.

Below are pics of the cross brace, an area I sanded in the lower body and what appears to be OEM upper body colors in areas that I sanded on the upper back and the belt.

Can anyone confirm this? Especially since it appears to contradict what is in the paint and finish guide.

Thanks!

Here is a section of the lower body I sanded through the blue and some other areas where the blue repaint peeled:
