Correct.....
.... and they used the same light grey on Chev or Dodge engines.....
Although I have seen complete rebuilt GM 6 cyl. engines ..."drop ins" for CCKW in the plywood crate that were OD green..... complete from bell housing, clutch, carb, and water pump... starter and gen......no fans.... probably all made into Toyota bumpers by now....
My M43 had a rebuilt 251 engine with 900 miles on it..... painted a shinny dark Bell Canada green like late 80 civvy/ military trucks.....Marcel had a primer red in his M43 with less than 500 miles... both trucks came from Petawawa in 73 or 74.... they had special breakin instructions glued to the inside driver's windshield....
If you look at paint samples for the 1940 factory medium grey with a blueish tint..... it is very close to the new Ford grey currently available at Cdn Tire.
Mike.... are you still trying to dig yourself out...???
