You are right on the mark. Anyone who has ever undertaken a painting project in their own home can attest to matching paint. We have all run a gallon short and run down to the paint store to get another mixed only to find it slightly off... I am sure back in the day manufacturers were buying paint in bulk and I would bet money on it that colour varied from batch to batch, especially during wartime conditions. Not quite the same as today where it can be sent back because its off spec. When I did my 12 cab Ford, I painted it in Lightstone. Some NOS parts I found were in this colour and even they varied in tone...
