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

Thanks to all.
I get the impression from your responses that the orange finish is red lead primer. Phill's suggestion that filter masks be used when stripping a vehicle is very important considering what one finds when you research red lead and lead poisoning on Wikipedia. I'll proceed carefully.
