Also, does anyone have the camo pattern in TM as the 2 tone of green are hard to see in pictures! Thank's

I have it out in the shop. I'll be out there tomorrow so if nobody posts it before then I will.

It crossed my mind that this bin may be from a line truck or similar - anyone recognize it?

Between the CMP rifle bracket, the use of rivets, and the type of strap and footman loops, I would suggest that box is perhaps a bit earlier than the 5/4 ton. No idea what it is from though.

Here is what I found in my book for the 5/4 ton cam pattern. It is not the usual drawings found for the Cdn cam patterns, so may have been a provisional. I do not believe it is any different than the pattern you would find on the older 3/4 ton trucks.

The patterns for all the vehicles could be found in the manual of cam and concealment (CFP317 or 318 or something like that) from the 70s and 80s.

Thank's for the post, do you have the other side? Thank's

The other side is the mirror of the first side. If you look at the photos earlier in this thread you can see the adherence to this cam pattern is fairly consistent.
