None of the rubber had any kind of overspray or leakage on it (as though it was re-painted).
Sometimes and not very often I will find a SPID without a paint code. Most were IIRC white. Without a crystal ball or pictures its hard to say much about the progression of colors on your truck. But white with blue matching the SPID and the fact the upper dash is flat blue supports the SPID. As to the original color its just a matter of inspecting and sanding in most cases.
Vinyl trm partsd ar often changed as is paint both exterior and interior. Often though a color change can most easily be seen inside.

Several of your own posts support this being a white with blue vinyl truck too. If you have pictures of the truck and SPID post them up.
