I’m wondering if it did change from heat due to the fire that occurred in this vehicle at some point. However looking closely at it, the colour is very consistent. I’ll see what turns up as more parts come off.

Heat wouldn't change the paint that much, and it would be more localized. My bet is on your initial observation - light tan not white.

BTW, very impressed that you found the folding engine cover. Postwar, that plate armour would have been the first or second thing to come off and be repurposed into a plow blade or almost anything else.
