Phil,
Thanks for your reply. I also suspect that the undercoat colour may have been whatever Ford Canada had on hand during production. It was getting bronze green sprayed over it anyway. I think maybe I'm too into the fiddly details, but if the orange colour is there by design I'd still like to know. I don't think I'm OCD. Regards, Matt

Hi Rob,
Thanks for your input. I noticed on your vehicle list that you have some CMP trailers - are they flatbeds or something task-specific? If you've got pictures, I'd be very interested. Thanks, Matt

Primer
I think Jared is on the right trail with red lead. Newport Railway Workshops (just down the end of my street) is 3 kilometers from the Williamstown Naval Dockyards. Both facilities used red lead extensively as primer. In fact their moto used to be if you cant make love to it (not how they actually expressed it) red lead it. The stuff shows up around here all the time in houses . Must have been liberated from the factories by the gallon. Highly toxic and dangerous to small children so take extreme care if you are sanding it.

REd lead
I am quite certain that red lead was used on british armoured vehicle. Having owned /restored several british MV's (Centurion, Scout Mk1, Daimler Dingo, Ferret and AEC Dorchester) I have come across this hard to remove orange sealant coat, especially in joins etc.
I have always taken the precaution to use filtered masks when removing it. I'm not sure what harmful effects red lead dust can have but I'm not keen to find out either ! Cheers Phill
