911 Carrera Paint Code HELP!!

I have a 1985 Carrera Cab that does not have a paint code tag in the drivers door jam. Did they put it in a different spot on this car? It looks like there has never been a tag in the jam (no rivet holes) and the car has not been painted. The color is that darker blue that sometimes looks purple in sunlight. Thanks for any help. Matt.

Pop the hood and look near the front of the passenger sie wall. You may have to unsnap the carpet, but the paint code sticker should be there.

Maybe Slate Blue, or Slate Blue Metalic.

The common one for '85 is Prussian blue, 33x. It has the purpleish look.

Psngr fender/vertical/inner surface....snap off the carpet in that area.

See here as an example--->first pic, look right behind the 3 rubber plugs on the trunk's sidewall, visual sightline just under the top of the headlight ring--->





Second image is detail enlargement--->
