Are you looking at cans of the old IRR paint? The last NSNs for the stuff was in the range of 8010-21-880-9629, 9630 and 9650. If your NSN on the can is different, watch if you are using the newer CARC paint as it has some very serious health implications when sprayed. If brushed on it is OK, but will be quite shiny. Also, the CARC paints are not matches to the Cdn colour scheme.
There was an interim Cdn Carc in the 8010-21-980 range if I recall, but it did not see widespread issue, and the eventual CARC paint should have an American NSN, which is in the 8010-01- NSN range. All these numbers are from memory mind you, so take them with a grain of salt.
