I've seen some post war interior white 'spruce up' paint jobs on tanks and armoured cars. They weren't too fussy and everything got painted including canvas straps and buckles. I can see them removing the 19 set and supply unit from their cases then painting the cases, carrier, straps and all (way easier than removing the set from the carrier or the complete set including the carrier). It's common to see partly white painted control units for the same reason.
