Help Identifying Color Code for Dr. ColorChip

Can anybody help me locate the paint code on my 560sl?
Below is the alphanumeric sequence noted under the hood.
6713858 0
107048 12
71 70 1
271 442 551
109639 M 491 581
735 G 506 262
2 735 G 519 807
531

How do the numbers above correspond to the Dr. ColorChip color codes defined here:
Select Paint Color - Dr. ColorChip: Automotive Paint Chip Repair Systems

Thanks in advance.

Dugald, thank you for the color code. For future reference, how did you arrive at the aforementioned color code from the alphanumeric sequence shown under the hood?

735 is Astral Silver. The G is for Glasurit, the paint manufacturer. The first is the body color. The second for the hard top color. In the begining the hard top might not match the body color.
Thanks for the profile.

404 = Milan Brown Metallic according to the paint codes in the EGv107. G is for "Glasurit" according to knowledgeable members here.

I tried a couple Doctor Color chip paints on two of my cars. On my R107 (Signal Red) it worked fairly well. On my metallic blue BMW not as well. I've seen it used on a metallic silver as well, and it comes out darker than the original finish. Has something to do with the way the flakes orient themselves. Works reasonable well on solid color paints though.
