962Porsche: Thank you for your assistance here - i appreciate it.
A couple of things. I have searched and come across several other owners with the 358-9-3 paint code, here are the links. Nibody seems to know the name, but all are similar in color, a silverish-blue. It is a Metallic. Here are the links:

Definately there is a paint that Porache used on several cars - obviousky not many, but spanned a couple years. All seem to be he same silver-blue, but interestingly nobody can nail down a name, better yet a paint mix - so i can move on a repaint/restoration.
Here are the pictures of the paint as i found it today in the bonnet:
Thanks again for your help & any info you can come up with.
