My Ph.2 had a Ph.3 bonnet and bumper and I couldn't see any difference in shade, nor did anyone notice.
Are we sure that diablo really did come out in different shades from the factory? I feel it more likely that it is slightly more sensitive to UV and different vehicles have had different levels of lightening from exposure to UV light. This could also account for the difference between ph.2 and ph.3: later models suffer way less from lacquer peel so perhaps they changed the lacquer on later models to combat this and it has better UV properties.
If you look on a painted area of the shell that never seen the light of day it is always fresh, dark red. I've found the halfords rattle can that I have matches this shade pretty well which is to be expected really.
