Gray Paint Color Needed!

I apologize for the "repost," but I am having a lot of trouble nailing down the color.
I am painting a:
1930 McCormick-Deering 22-36.
Some of you have provided PPG and other company paint codes.
SOME OF THESE ARE NOT BEING FOUND BY THE PAINT SUPPLIERS I HAVE GONE TO!!!
My understanding is that the correct color would be that of the JUNIOR that appears below.
I understand that the TITAN is too LIGHT of a gray.
Can you please verify this and please provide me with a PPG code that matches the JUNIOR.
I am getting sandblasted and painted in about one week and need to nail down the color.
Thanks so much.

Here are several paint codes for PPG's dark gray paint 30031 & 30010. Here's two more paint codes from Dupont 98625-D & 98620-D. I would look at the paint chips to see if they're charcoal gray. Hal
 
I like the color on the Junior better. Is there a paint code for the paint used on it? Hal
PS: I saw pictures of several F12's painted with the dark gray. I think they were in England. If I can find the pics again I will post one.
 
Here's the web site to that F12 painted dark gray. It wouldn't post a pic do to the copyright. Hal

I used Van Sickle paint on my F20 and was very happy with it. It doesnt say anything about spraying it but it did just fine. I know that the Dupont number is still availble as I have used that also in the last 3 months. My body shop guy said goodluck with the PPG number he called them and they had no idea about it. Goodluck and yes I agree the color should be that of the JR not the Titan. Jay
 
Some sources state that IHC bought war surplus "battle ship grey" paint from WW-1 to paint its tractors in the 1920's, whatever shade that was.
