Well, that seems logical. But how can we explain the yellow color found all over the vehicle as basic color?
First color is yellow (Light Stone?), second something like OD, then a civil green (exterior), grey (interior).
That would mean the British trucks were painted yellow even when delivered after the North African campaign, and then changed to green in an in-theater workshop (like in the story in one of the recent Classic Military Vehicle magazines).
My D15 has been changed to LHD after the war, and the chassis was made longer for better commercial use. This is to be reset to original standard. But even on the frame you can see the yellow color.
