It should be on the data plate on the door jamb of the driver's door.
It should say DR for dark red or MR for medium red.

Medium Red = 772
Medium Cinnabar = 672(leather) 67C(cloth)
You should find one of these codes on the trim tag, riveted to the hinge pillar in front of the driver's door.

I found the paint code on the drivers side door jam and it reads trim #752 and Paint #751. This I believe is Med Red. Thanks for all you help.

Must be a mis-print/typo in the NCRS spec book. 
I show the med. red leather interior as 772.
In the "Black Book", it shows 752. Go figure!
