My suggestion would be to go to a Ford dealer that actually has a body shop. They should be able to help you determine what is the correct code. If that isnt available, find a good, and I mean a high end ( the type that does higher end vehicles ) and ask them to help you with the codes.

I have/had a similar problem with my Excursion, the window sticker says it is Mineral Grey, but the codes and color are actually Eddie Bauer colors...and it is an Eddie Bauer.
