Gray Paint Color Needed!

I apologize for the "repost," but I am having a lot of trouble nailing down the color.
I am painting a:
1930 McCormick-Deering 22-36.
Some of you have provided PPG and other company paint codes.
SOME OF THESE ARE NOT BEING FOUND BY THE PAINT SUPPLIERS I HAVE GONE TO!!!
My understanding is that the correct color would be that of the JUNIOR that appears below.
I understand that the TITAN is too LIGHT of a gray.
Can you please verify this and please provide me with a PPG code that matches the JUNIOR.
I am getting sandblasted and painted in about one week and need to nail down the color.
Thanks so much.

I have a picture of a 22-36 painted with Van Sickle paint with this paint code CML-0015, but it looks almost black. I sent other paint codes to you from the Farmall forum. Hal
 
Did they have paint codes of that era? I thought IHC and other MFG'S bought what ever was available hence the varied grey color as the US war dept put a lot of battle ship grey paint on the market in the 20's and 30's which the mfg's grabbed right up. Colors varied greatly so any shade of dark grey would look nice I think.
 
Here is a place to buy quality paints at a very reasonable price.I use it all the time. We are in the process of painting a Motor Home using their Acrylic Enamal plus clear coat.I've painted several trucks and numerous other things with it also. http://www.paintforcars.com/ Gun Metal Grey appears to lite so add some black. $46.00 per Gallon Acrylic Enamal.
 
Use your search for Dupont tractor colors and sift through that. Now if people here are providing codes, your best resource on the net, that can not be found what level of ability do the suppliers have that you visited??? I have done some regulars and battleship gray comes in many shades so you may as you already see get many variations.
