Jeep colours

[Bruce Parker (RIP)]

Tim, I seem to recall parts books for early contract MB jeeps calling for parts with different colours depending on whether they were for Canadian contracts or not. This suggests early Canadian jeeps were supplied in the Canadian colour of the day, that being khaki.

While we're at colours, would anybody guess at the colours on this HUW? It is a mid 1943 to very early 1944 model and was photographed in England prior to the Normandy invasion. I 'm assuming the base colour is the factory applied brown (No. 2) but is the cam a dusty black or dark brown?
