If the body companies simply tried to match the color patch issued by Ford, I imagine there was some variation across the board, as others have noted. Clearly, those who put together the Paint Guide felt there may actually be a Moleskin Brown, Light out there, or they wouldn’t have left a blank in the Guide.
Sigh…

After speaking with a couple of JS people including Terry Deters, most do not know your answer and think it must be a misprint. My old Ditler color chips from the 1950s do not list a 'Light'.
At this point if you are considering using this color, my suggestion would be to get in touch with Tom or one of the MAFCA JSC members (
