I have posted photos of the trim tag for a B2Z and a Z78. B2Z paint code (first) is 13U 07M while that of the Pace Car is 19U 47M. The U is for upper while M is for middle. GM used U, M and L (lower) to code the paint schemes for different levels of the body.
and that for a Pace Car
Hope this helps!

If there are three sisters, (B2Z, PC and plain) one is the hot one, ones the "ok, after a few beer" one, and one is the one that was "dropped on her head when she was a puppy".
Different tastes for different folks.
I'm a B2Z kinda guy.

I have a '78 and it is my understanding that all 1978 Corvettes were "silver anniversary" models in that they were built 25 years after the first 1953. They all have the silver anniversary chrome badging. There was a silver anniversary paint scheme which was an extra $300 and had a darker lower and lighter silver upper. The Pace Car model was an upgrade with different paint and decals which of course stickered out more. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong.
