Appears to me the options sheet shows paint code 172, which equates to Anthracite Grey, based on the list provided by you and ROLLGUY. I spoke to a local body repair shop and he suggested that the lower color should be 7172,

RG copied the list in my other thread.
7172 should be the matt version but still same color as 172. Apparently any 4 digit code is for trim as per my 97 C280 having 702 main , 9702 mat lower , and 7176 for a small amount of bumper trim.
Given the radiator tag and paper tag do not show a second color, ( dashes for OT ) I wonder of the two tone was done by a previous owner?
Lack would be paint
UT would be some German aberration for upper ?
OT would be some German aberration for lower ?

Thanks again for your help!

An auto body supply store can use a color gun to generate a formula. This won't get you the factory number but it will be a match for the current paint.
