The post war RAF
During WW2 the RAAF vehicles were painted Service Green the same as all other Service Vehicles

Default Colour

The colour looks suspiciously like that of the Torana in the background.

You can still see the RAAF above the service number.

Early vehicles simply had 'AF' above the number.

RAAF numbers were in a separate set of ledgers to the AWM 126 and they never made it to the Memorial - for the time being they are believed lost.

Mike is correct - the duck egg blue was a post-war colour.
