On my 70 CT1B the forks were not the same color as the front fender and I believe they still had the factory paint. They were dirty in this photo but maybe it helps in some way. I suppose it’s possible that the paint on the forks aged differently than the fender but the fender seems to be more silver than the forks.

The paint code part of the part number for both the lower fork and both fenders is identical ( -35 ) .
Any variation could be due to differences in paint mix at source .
They would have been painted at the factory at different times .
I know there was considerable differences in the Dark Green RD 350 / DT3 tank colours .
