Default Gillespie

Was just poking round Willys Acres website and he appears to still be carrying the Gillespie line.

He lists 34087 as the 'khaki' OD, 319 as "late WWII" OD. (With 33070 as "early" OD and 24087 as semigloss OD.)

Hidden remnants of the OD on my '45 HUP I have been told are "khaki" OD, but they seem close enough to "late" or "U.S." OD to my eye. My C8A was built at the end of August '45 - which is "late" to be sure, but I will probably go with the "khaki" as seems more "Canadian."

OTOH, I have also read that some like the semi-gloss, saying it wears, washes and weathers better.
