Default War Paint

I suspect GM and Ford ignored regulations when producing CMP's. Two of my vehicles produced in 1943 that 'should' be Brown No.2, are khaki. One made in June 1944 that should be 'Olive Drab' is khaki. It would seem that whatever paint GM had in stock trumped whatever the army order of the day was. The 1944 vehicle does have Brown on parts that, when assembled and fitted to the truck, were oversprayed with khaki.
