Jay,

The paint codes are on a white sticker stuck to the metal below the fuse
holder.  You'll have to be almost on the floor to see it.  The Bronze Beige
Metallic is LH8U.
Both colors were available on the '85 Wolfsburg Westy's.  Mine is Bronze
Beige Metallic and Phaedra's in Merian Brown.

The touch up paint I bought from Paint Scratch is an amazingly good match.
