I'd say it's black since it's way darker than the tires.,

Id say its the black as well. When I painted my Dodge I used Tremclad flat black mixed with some OD. It toned down the black just a bit and looked great.

just to throw a left field spanner in the works, why coudn't the base coat be SCC 15? My understanding is there is overlap between the use of SCC15 as a camouflage base colour and the "foliage" pattern. Its less likely but not out of the question, or is there something purely canadian like the adpotion of scc 15 that i am unaware of? (possible)

It is reasonable to presume the darker colour is scc 14. Nice to see an example of soft edge foliage pattern.
