Maybe not the vehicles themselves, but sometimes spare parts. As you know the CJ5 front fender has a detail reinforcing "rib" that has a large flat spot for a reflector, not found on the M38A1 part. A part is a part is a part at a certain point in the lifespan of a commercial pattern vehicle. (Not telling you anything you haven't taught us on this forum already.)

Pertaining to the "cool" Norway paint scheme, I have seen it on the cover of M38A1 Jeeps in Canadian Service.
Was it ever ascertained as to what the exact camo colours were?
I assume the jeep was likely in original 1950s semi gloss sprayed over with two colours of flat?
To me it appears to be sand base with black or green camo.

the one I had appeared to be a Blue with Tan , much as the front cover of the book, I wish I had known when I had the vehicle, I would have kept it,

Is it possible that the blue colour was flat black that was washed out over
Time? I know on one of my wrecks the black is almost a grey blue...
