Default Maritime Blue Question

I was flipping throught a Porsche Book last night and noticed that Maritime Blue has 3 factory color codes.

In 1990 it was called maritime blue metatllic # 35V
In 1991 it was called maritime blue # 388
In 1992 it was called maritime blue # F2

All three were offered as standard colors for their respective years. Anyone know the difference?

The Glasurit paint site notes the following color code for 911's "MARITIMBLAU" between 1990-93:
Manuf: PORSCHE
Color Name: MARITIMBLAU
Color Code: 38B (This may be a mistaken read of "388" on your part? Or, on Glasurit's?)
Aux. Code: F2
Years: 1990-1993
Good luck, Mr. Phelps...

388 is how it's listed in the Red Book, LB, for the 91's. 38B is probably correct since the other colors (aside from black and white) use an alpha-numeric naming convention. For 92-on, it's referred to by the Glasurite aux code, F2, you provided.

For 1990, there is no Maritime option, however, there IS a Marine Blue Metallic 35V.

My car says 38B on the back of the fuel flap.
This is a good Maritime resource

Could you post some pictures of your car?
Rather rare. But surely beautiful!
