Did not see a response and I may not be of help, but I did a lot of hunting for my 1973 rims color code for North America. I am not sure if the Limestone color changed between 67 and 73. But the codes I came up with are:

LRC007
5409011
46251
38505A (the one you listed which is the Dupont Color code)
NCJ Limestone Beige

I had my local NAPA store mix up a spray can of that 38505A. But before I sprayed, I found my wheels were too rusted to wire brush for painting. So I sent them off to sandblast and powdercoat. If you powdercoat, they could not match a body color code. So the closest color code to the 38505A in powdercoating world is called RAL1015. Below you can see my rims after sandblast and powder coat. I really recommend the powder coat route vs spray paint.

Good luck!

What was the cost of sand blasting and power coat?

I paid $75 a wheel (price includes sandblast and powder coat). You may find something cheaper, but research them to make sure they have good customer feedback.
