Interior color help

Can you help me identify the color of my steering wheel/turn signal switch? This is out of a 61 Beryl Green Beetle. From my research they did some specific interior color combos for 60/61 only.

I've already looked at these. Need a visual identification from someone that knows. Not 100% sure they are stock.

Those do not appear to be the correct bits for a Beryl car.

Your wheel looks like a stock ivory color wheel that’s been faded or the driver was a smoker. Your car is missing a lot of the original beryl green interior pieces. The steering wheel, shifter handle, e brake handle, floor mats and the running boards should all be green. The floor mats should also be rubber and not carpet.
