Default Please Help w/82 Trim Code - Int. Color??

I recently purchased an '82 Vette an I'm wanting to order new seats and interior carpet. However, I can't determine which color is correct to the car. The current interior is stock and looks grayish silver. As I understand it could either be '81 silver (some 82s I understand had this), silver-green or silver-gray. I don't see green in the silver color but the pics I've seen for this color also don't look greenish either. I'm confused and when I give the stores my #s they don't seem to understand. Here's what it says on the inner door Jamb:

C07B 119234
131 13L 13U 39M E (NOTE: The first 1 in the first 3 combos actually looks like an upside down T which I have identified as 1)
Chevrolet

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

For 82,

13I (13 & the letter I) = Silver Gray Leather interior

13L (13 lower) = Silver Metallic exterior
13U (13 upper) = Silver Metalic exterior

Exterior paint codes had a upper and lower desination because you could order a 2 tone paint job.

all my references show 132 as silver gray leather. I cannot find 131 or 13I in the text but it sounds logical

Thanks for your feedback. I feel confident it's the silver gray vs. the silver green so will move forward with ordering. It's odd how the '82s have so much "mystery" surrounding these trim tags and not more straightforward. Thanks again!!
