Hi Bob,
There is no "right" or "wrong" colour for LRDG trucks. It was all a bit ad-hoc in WW2, depending on what was available. Our truck is slightly more yellow than some other replicas which used "light stone". The NZ trucks tended to have one colour only, but some of the Guards and Yeomanry trucks had thick diagonal stripes of a darker colour, visible in wartime photos.
Here is a side view of our truck, but it would be better to show you one of the actual 1533X2 trucks as they left the Chev factory in Oshawa, Canada. I can't find that factory pic just now, but Google should find it for you.
