Sorry for resurrecting this thread but I have a small amount of info.
I'm not going to say how or why, but remnants of the A45 and E63 are in GT6 in the form of hidden Paint Chips.
These chips include:
Elbaitgrün Metallic
Crystal Lauritsiver
Diamantweiss Metallic
Saphirrot Metallic
Obsidianschwarz Metallic
Südseeblau Metallic
Mountaingrau Metallic (This is actually matte)
Sunburst Orange Metallic (Unsure if this belongs to either Mercs.)
These chips appear before the VGT chips, so they were not added in any patch. I can only assume that the info Mercedes gave out ~1 year ago was in fact, correct (at the time at least).
So if these existed in the game prior to any patch, does that mean these are completely separate entities to the colours used by the VGT Mercs, even when considering those that have the same name and shade as those used on the VGTs? Other cars in the game that use the same colours, names and shades (e.g. Sepang Bronze on the Premium and Standard M5) are considered separate, and you'll receive them twice, so presumably there are two instances of these Mercedes colours in the game. If you say these Mercedes paints existed before the VGTs, presumably the paints intended for the VGT were included with the patch that added it to the game, and that these would be a separate set of paints.
Also, wasn't there an E63 AMG at the Silverstone GT6 reveal? Come to think of it, there was an M5 F10 too, and an M6 at Ronda. I wonder if these will turn up in GT7, as the chances of them as DLC in GT6 are pretty much zero...
