I think you're right - during WWII it's very likely the RAAF colour was green - however about 15 years ago, Warwick Lord had for sale, a spectacularly original RAAF F60L (from memory - I somehow don't remember it as a Chev - and I think Warwick had scored it from a property in western Queensland) with an original body, disintegrating tyres etc and all the RAAF markings on the cowl. It still had the square petrol tins on it ...yet it was an unusual colour, almost a yellowy/lime green. The paint was old, flat and chalky but from what we could see original - the truck was so good that other than getting it to run you wouldn't have touched it. But I remember the strange colour being a point of discussion and it wasn't that the paint was a faded OD - I'd love to know what happened to it...
