Super Imp Paint code?

I'm doing some repairs to my Super Imp 1450 and would like to match the original paint. Wondering if anyone knows the paint code or a close match? I see Kubota Orange for sale everywhere, it would work in a pinch.
Thanks
Tom

Someone else had posted this a while back for an LMC 1800, which I imagine is pretty close if not the same. Allis Chalmers orange is also very close, which I've used for some touch up.

1969 Ford Calypso Coral or 1965 Ford Poppy Red (same color) seemed to match undisturbed sections on my machine pretty well. More of a tangerine than orange but mine is a DMC. Thiokol may be more orange

The front page of my original paint 1985 LMC1500 manual that came with the Cat , written in pencil "paint color Ditzler 71985". That is GM Fleet red 1972.

Thanks gents, this is good info. The Calypso Coral is tempting because I have a 72 Bronco being painted in that same color. Seems like any orange would work fine
