The only reasons that I thought mine should have the 1990s Nato pattern on it are:
1- it appears to be green, black and a very faded brown
2- it is a 1981 mfg that went well into the 90's in service
3- it served in CFB Lahr as well as in Bosnia in 92-93
Thoughts?

Default M101

I don't think the M101s ever had the NATO camouflage. In all of the photographs I have, this particular model of trailer is either OD, Canadian camouflage, single Canadian green or white.

Thanks Rob and Ed for the assistance on this. I took a closer look at my Manac trailer today. What I figured was brown is most likely faded out OD. Ifound some paint underneath the trailer wiring connector cover which confirms the green colour. My racks have the typical ugly green that fades out to the lightish bright green.
End of story; will use what i have for my 1970 CDN3 camo pattern as I have plenty of paint for it.
