Neither of them weren't 13-14 for sure so it wasn't 02C paint code. wonder why is that? is it because the shape of the car makes it paint color different even though the paint code is the same? just curious here.

Any number of things could make them look different. Lighting, amount of clear coat, time sat in the sun (they are different age), and the possibility of a partial re-spray.
Paint codes tend to be pretty accurate. But World Rally Blue 2 Tricoat (K7X) paint is a special
paint application process consisting of three different layers of paint. It gives the vehicle a milky pearl effect. This effect can make the color change in the light.
