Gentlemen
Wasn't there also a "Buff Building Paint Ref No 47-2369" coupled with a 
green paint scheme?  I don't have a green color drift control.
I have:  "Medium Gray Building Paint ref No 47-2365" and "Light Gray 
Building Paint Ref No 47-2362" for the two tone grey scheme.
I also have:  "Maroon Building Paint Ref No 47-2359" for what?
So there are more than 3 schemes.  How many?  The above are notated from 
1954 & 1955.
