I think the GM paint code for Riverside is WA627D
I can not find the paint code for Elkhart

GKK - Riverside Blue
G7S - Elkhart Lake Blue
Elkhart Lake Blue Metallic - RPO GS7, paint code WA-625D

Riverside Blue Metallic - RPO GKK, paint code WA-627D

Codes are right in the color charts in their respective order guides.

Corvette:

Typically, if a paint shares RPO code, but each brand uses a different name, they share paint codes. Only the marketing name changes.

A great example of this is Shadow Gray Metallic. RPO code is GJI, paint code is WA-626D. Its called Shadow Gray Metallic at camp Chevrolet. However, camp GMC calls it Dark Sky Metallic, camp Cadillac calls it Shadow Metallic, and camp Buick calls it Pewter Metallic.
