It might have been a guess on your part, Robert, but grey paint on the floor is correct for colour. The original was actually a textured paint to provide a grip on the steel floor. The paint covered the full floor, up to but not including the sill plate underneath the rear door. The sill plate was green like the rear door and the four sets of window fittings. The only other colour inside was the seat assemblies and all the khaki straps on the shelving.
As for the shelving inside the 2K1 and 2K2 bodies, I am not aware of any of it ever being stencilled/designated for specific items. These are soft skin vehicles. For lack of a better description, they are much more 'casual' than AFV's. They are not part of the front line fighting. In an AFV, spare parts and ammunition must be consistently located in familiar positions when needed. The combat capability of the vehicle and the lives of the crew depend on this consistency.
In these wireless boxes, apart from a handful of items that actually do have specific storage points, they were designed to be flexible and each crew probably set the storage up with a fair degree of personal preference for what worked for them best.
