Hello

The Original CDN Contract Jeeps were repainted when they arrived in Britian when they were assembled. NOS Parts for these have been seen in two different colours. I would agree with Bruce that some possibly could be Khaki.

Some were Mickey Mouse while others were a foilage pattern. As you can see there is a great deal of debate on the colours used.

I would say it would be whatever they had available at the time and the shades would be different for every batch they had mixed. Others have already talked about the possible colours used.

Those jeeps remaining in Canada would have remained the manufacture colour. Except for the Bantam and GP's which were camouflage. Oh and some of the RCN and RCAF jeeps. Some of these were painted Gray or Blue.

Jeeps later bought used from the USA would have arrived in the US colours and most likely would not have been repainted.
It is interesting to note that these vehicles would have had the USA number on the hood, which would have been painted over and the WD number added. so if you have a USA Numbered vehicle, it could also have been used by the Cdn or British.

The Camo jeep photo is from the Sikorsky London Archives available to see on line. There is a link on MLU in another section.

Thanks
