This is only speculation but I think it is possible that there was a general instruction to paint white patches on diffs (meaning REAR diffs) but that some squaddies, having been programmed to do what they were told and not to think too much, got carried away and painted them on front diffs as well.
Certainly you never see convoy lights to illuminate the front diff. I think white front diffs is not correct practice although certainly was sometimes done. David

With the risk of getting crucified....I am attaching a picture of a Chevrolet C60L in this Ford thread.....but, I hope I can get away with it.
 It clearly shows a white painted front diff cover. My thought was that during a service, the front and back diff covers might have been accidentally switched....but that theory won't fly on a Ford axle!! And to be honest I hadn't noticed the white painted front diff on the F15A picture I posted earlier. Alex picture source: https://beeldbankwo2.nl/nl/

Here's a brace of F15A's, somewhere in the Netherlands.
More interestingly, the two on the left have had their cab roofs removed. Had not seen that before in the NW European theatre of operations. 46995942_10155629888841783_1994412748737347584_n.jpg

An interesting picture nonetheless....also note the bullit holes in the door of the frontmost F15A. It seems the roof and doors of the mid one were removed a long time ago, as the star was relocated to the engine lid.....and the census number to the side of the body! I also have a picture of a topless C15A in either Tan or very faded SCC2, but I am too scared to post it in this Ford thread. Alex
