Trouble Matching 1958 Glade Green (WE5689)

Has anyone else had an issue when trying to have paint shops accurately reproduce this color?

The truck is a "58 and the chassis plate shows 705A as the paint code. The guys at the paint shop say that number come back as Woodland Green (WE5101). I had some of this mixed and it has far less blue than the existing paint on the truck. (I am using the the upper firewall as a reference. It was protected from the elements and is in near new condition with the factory grease pencil marks still showing)

I have now come to think that the truck is not Woodland, but Glade Green (WE5689). I talked to the paint shop about this and according to their references Woodland and Glade show to be the same mix. I have found a member post here who also indicated this, but I honestly do not believe it.

Any insight you guys may have would be great.
