Canvas colours
Jordan, I have NOS canvas parts in three colours. There is a chocolate brown (13 cab CMP window flaps and hinges), olive drab (seat covers and 13 cab window flaps) and 'dark' khaki which is half way between brown and khaki (CMP seat covers, Fox door canvas & brass catching bag, CMP side curtains, shift boot). I've seen an orange/buff colour as well. CMP parts books take great pains to have separate colours of canvas associated with certain serial numbers.
I think canvas colours probably followed paint colours ie. khaki from 1940-43., brown in 1943 then O.D. from 1944-15.
I only wish colours could be accurately sent via a computer.
