I don't have the slightest idea but I do know one thing; almost every manufacturer of paint puts out something purporting to be NS or CR authentic and ain't a one of them comes out the same.  I neither give nor ask for advice when it comes to paints; what you swear by I might wind up swearing at and, as an ex-cowhand, I hate to lose swearing contests.
