The above dropside trayback appears to have been service green over-painted blue. In the original AuLRO post the author suggested the vehicle in question had never been painted service green.
If the vehicle in question went through a post-war re-build would they have stripped the paint back to bare metal/wood before painting blue?
I know that after the war my uncle bought up CKD kits to use for his general carrier business (my father actually got a 15a off his cousin for his building company). Would these have been pre-painted service green or just finished in primer? And if so did the RAAF build war surplus trucks into fleet colours before entering service?
