Default Color question

I'm trying to figure out what the original colors were on my 29 155-A sedan.

Dad painted it Vagabond/Rock Moss on the outside. The Rock Moss is obviously not dark enough as the two colors are very close together. He may have inverted the colors also. The one closest to Vagabond is on the upper body, belt, sills and reveals.

The little research I've done so for indicates that the interior should have been painted the darker (rock moss) color according to the paint guide.

The inside of the tank looks like it may still be original paint. Not 100% convinced. Looks close to dawn gray to me.

The color on the tank almost looks like dawn gray but the stripes look reddish maybe taupe. he painted the dash and the bottom of the tank buff for sure.

Any thought would be appreciated.

Another question I have is what production date splits an early/late 29?
The window trim and dash colors inside depend on that. Late cars supposedly were walnut woodgrained.

Here's a couple pics.
