Just as a note, I'm fairly sure that the number after the slash refers to the paint shade, as the shade of colours changed, so the numbers could be different.

Macaoblau in German.

Bear in mind that if the sticker is to replace a missing one from a 1988 Motorsport convertible, they didn't have Macau as the paint code on the sticker, but "sonderlack".
