So I just replaced the lower dash pad and when I took it off I saw this. Is this how it was painted from the factory? I believe the car retains its original color of Olympic blue. I know the car was repainted once but I don't think the color was changed. What do you think?

I'd guess that the panels were painted lightly with whatever leftover paint was available as a anti-rust coating. Then frontal areas that might be visible got the matt-black finish. Using leftover paint for hidden areas saved some cost. Since these panels were painted in a different production area they would not be colour matched to the car body.
