What is this paint scheme?

I've only seen this paint scheme on a few square bodys. It's the three tone blue with pinstripes. Is this a custom paint package like what centurion and western hauler used to do? Or was this a factory color option?

Re: What is this paint scheme?

If the lower is the same color as the upper (light blue) with the dark blue inset, then it is totally factory.

RPO ZY5.

Incidentally the pinstripe had a protective mask over it. The secondary color was sprayed first and then taped off using the pinstripe as the upper boundary.

After the primary color was sprayed the masking was removed revealing the two tone.

If you are saying the lower (rocker area) is a darker blue than the hood and roof then that is not factory.
