The colour codes are listed in Norm Darwin's book on Holden. As a example PRT RD = port red.
I've seen on a GM-H assembled ex-military 1941 Chevrolet truck , the colour tag on the firewall stamped KHK GRN = khaki green. I purchased the vehicle in 1981 in Orange NSW for $50, a 1 Ton ex-army Chev, it had the script '1941 Van 1 TON GS ' on the cowl . I flat towed the truck to a yard next to a relatives residence South of Orange , unfortunately the little truck was vandalised and stripped bare, somebody stole the axles, and the 17" wheels., it was a was a wreck by the time I got back there some years later, sitting on the ground . Very sad , when I found it, it was in nice original condition , somebody had fitted a wooden tray replacing the original wartime GM-H built ute style tub �� On that same trip I also salvaged a British WOT2 H 15 cwt truck , it was free , It sat next to the Chev in the yard , both of these trucks I flat towed them some 30km to the yard with my 1946 Dodge ute. The brakes on both trucks were ok , up down hills, my 15 year old nephew steering . The WOT2 ended up in the hands of a well-known collector in NSW ,it was pictured in a edition of W&T magazine. My neighbour down the road is from Coonabarabran he's told me stories of using ex army vehicles on farms .
