Default Rally wheel color question

I'm repainting the black areas on the center caps on my '69 rally wheels. It looks like they were either flat or semi-gloss black originally, but I'm not sure if they just faded over the years. Does anyone know what shade of black was originally used? Thanks for any replies.

Semi-flat black was OEM. Krylon semi-flat black is a good match.
