I am restoring a 51 2R. can anyone tell me how to tell what the orginal interior colors were?

I found this at www.studebaker-info.org This is a 1952 truck color chart (I did not find a '51 truck color chart), but color names with an asterick were shared with 1951. I can't say for sure, but I think all of the interior paint matches that of the exterior. Can somebody confirm this? Also, you may be able to remove a piece of trim and find good original paint underneath.

Body color with some cream accents, (dash/glove box/door panel inserts. etc.

OK, so the interior should be painted the same color as the exterior, midnight blue in this case and then install tan/ cream inserts and trim?
