Do both sides of each plate have the same hammer tone finish?

Alan: Yours looks very much like mine, but your paint is in better condition than mine.
I also shot my photos in natural, non-glaring lighting conditions.
(I shared three photos in an earlier Email today.)
The more I look at my Air Cleaner in outside, cloudy light, and then at your photos, the more I could be easily convinced it is Hammertone.
Regards,
Don Antilla

Here a few pictures of the bottom piece of one of my air cleaner housings.
This housing came off a Mk1 Tiger and went on a shelf exposed to the elements where
It sat for years - until I bought it at a “yard sale” for 60 bucks, along with other Tiger parts.
I believe the paint is original - what’s left of it.
The paint appears to be alligatoring and falling off.
The pictures were taken with a DSLR camera using natural light from a window to the right.
There is no “hue” from an incandescent or florescent bulb, or any light bulb..
Perhaps someone can tell if the finish was hammertone.
The color must be the factory color as toned by the years and weather.

Interestingly, my air cleaner housing which is in rough shape but appears to have original paint still on it definitely is NOT Hammerstein type of paint. It is a slightly blueish grey closer to the convertible top frame but slightly bluer

Hi all, happy new year.
Does anyone have a paint code for the grey on the air cleaner housing?
Thanks!
