Default Disruptive paint scheme

Recently I contacted Jeff Plowman the author of the Kiwi Armour series about the possibility of NZ LP2 carriers ever having a disruptive paint scheme. Here in NZ they were only Khaki green as far as we know. However Jeff has confirmed that a LP2 carrier with a disruptive paint scheme surviving on Guadacanal is a NZ built one. It is one of the carriers sold to the US Marine Corps in 1943. The 2 tone colours are are unknown unless someone here has a colour picture of this carrier or has visited it. Attached is a photo that Jeff e-mailed me showing one of the NZ carriers with the paint job.
