Default 69 Body Mount Color/Locations - Need Input

I am in the process of a frame off restoration on a 69 Judge with 56,000 original miles and it has many identification/quality control paint marks still visible. This car has never been apart except for some items that were changed and/or removed but 99% of its original parts/hardware etc. This is a Michigan built car.

I just removed all body mounts and have a question on body mount color. I see pictures of restored cars with all types of colors red, green, purple, pink blue etc. I see In-Line also list colors. I just finished a concourse restoration on a 69 GS and the manual showed the colors/part number but the Pontiac manual just denotes part number. I do know the color was matched to a part number so the assembler could identify it easily.

What I found removing them. I have pictures but not sure how to upload them here yet.

Trunk
The mount (between frame/body) #3920609 and were embossed CHREVROLET with part number and smaller than the other mounts at 2 1/8” in diameter and had no remnants of paint at all. (Part # matches manual). The cushion (under the frame) #9787703 looks to be painted Pink/Light Purple. The bolt in this location was 3” long #9779529.

Behind Rear Wheel
The mount #9791997 embossed TEMP had no remnants of paint and was 2 3/8” in diameter. The cushion #9787703 looks to be painted Pink/Light Purple same as above. The bolt in this location was 2 5/8” long #1366144

Front of Rear Wheel and Upper Frame (4 total)
This dummy mount #9796420 had no remnants of paint and were embossed TEMP.

Door
This mount #9791997 embossed TEMP also had no remnants of paint. The cushion #9787703 looks to be painted Pink/Light Purple same as trunk and behind rear wheel. The bolt in this location was 2 3/8” long #3903321.

Cowl
The mount #9791997 (Outside) was embossed with TEMP also had no remnants of paint. The cushion #399672 was painted pink in this location. Also the bolt was 3” Long #9779529.

The dummy mount #9791996 was painted a darker blue in this location.

Summary
#3920609 mount (Trunk was black)
#9791997 mount (6 locations was black)
#9796420 dummy (4 locations was black)
#9791996 dummy (cowl was blue)
#9787703 cushion (6 locations was pink/purple)
#399672 cushion at cowl was pink.
I looked at these very closely and there could have been slight swipes that wore away but no evidence of paint in embossing or under edges of paint as mentioned above.

How does this compare to what others have found.
Thanks
Terry
