Default color code confusion

Hi, I hope someone can clear up my confusion about the color of my 92 vert. Window sticker says polo green II, sticker on the lid to the console says WA L 9539 which all of the touch-up paint web sites say is medium green metalic and the sites say polo green is code 9529. VINs on the widow sticker and the console match that of the car so I wonder what's up? I want to order some touch up paint and the swatches on the web sites show these two greens to be slightly different but I can't honestly decide which is the best match to my car. Was there even a medium green metalic? I don't think that I have ever seen one.

Also, what is a good touch up company?

Many thanks, efish
