Default Khaki Green G3 or Olive Drab SCC15?

David, indeed this could have been the case. We need as many as possible paint matches from survivors, like Geoff's '42 Ford F15A GS which has ample evidence of the original khaki green paint on the frame (still good under several layers of orange paint and hardened undercoating).

A difficult thing will be determinating if the 60+ year old weathered paint once was Khaki Green G3 or Olive Drab SCC15!
