Default 1972 911E Color question

I just received my Porsche production specification certificate. Can someone tell me what the numbers mean? If you look at the Exterior Paint Color it says Gulf Blue/36. What does the 36 mean, because that is not a paint color in the Porsche palette...?? I want to make sure I get this right because I am going to be repainting this car. I know there are 2 shades of Gulf Blue. Gulf Blue Dark was used from 1966-1968. Gulf Blue Light was 1972-1975. So it has to be Gulf Blue Light. The "36" is throwing me off.... hoping someone can decipher

what that number is referring to.

Maybe try https://www.early911sregistry.org/forums/ , which is the best place for authentic early car details.

The patina crowd will know if anyone does.

from a thread on esr about the “/52” on a CoA: “52 is the sales code for signal yellow and 114 is the paint code for signal yellow.”
