Aqua and Placid are very specific names to help identify which one you have. Go down to your local body shop paint supply store and ask them to show you the two colors in their catalogue of those colors and take a piece off of your truck with you. If they don't have the color chips, then ask them to make up a touch up amount.
You could also buy off ebay or other places an original color chip card for your truck.
Just be aware that the original paint on your 55 is over 60 years old and will have changed from the original shade.
Don't get hung up on what the "formula" is because it will be different for every paint company out there as long as they can make "539 Aqua or Placid Blue" you will have an original color.
