paint code

Looking for some help in identifying original paint color of my 73.5 coupe.

Today I visited the bodyshop and found numbers 936 93 stamped on metal tag mounted on left door hinge post. This doesn't seem to match any of the codes in the 911 Restorers Guide.

The car was metalic silver when I bought it and I think that this was the original color.

I think I am leaning towards the metalic silver again and would appreciate your opinions. Not looking to make a statement, just want period correct classic paint scheme.

Thanks
Manfred
