Not sure whether it is the same grey you are looking for but quite by accident I found that Kubota grey gloss engine paint is an almost perfect match for the original grey floor paint in my 1963 Amazon.

It was a lucky find. I was repainting the floor after some rustproofing and before laying some soundproofing so the colour match was not too important. So I went to my nearest paint supplier which happened to be an agricultural engineering shop. The Kubota grey matched so well that I was able to paint half the dash with it too.

I'll have a look at the tin for a colour code if you like?
