That back truck in your photo is quite a bit darker than olive drab. The mirror picture in this thread is more what you want. The chassis at the top of this page was likely original paint and there's no black. The Chev engines were a slate grey from the factory and if rebuilt they became khaki.
The main purpose of this thread was to see if any of the trucks were painted o-d from the factory (with o-d interior). From what I can see your HUP was likely all khaki from the factory and the military repainted it. When they did this they just closed the doors and sprayed what they coud get when standing beside the vehicle. The interior and undercarriage and drive train stayed the original colour. My HUP has 36000 miles with original engine and that's how they repainted it blue. I read somewhere that the staff cars had a light colour interior.
