The change in paint schemes were not a cost saving measure, but rather a policy that B vehicles were to be painted the flat green. Perhaps it was because a B vehicle is supposed to be to the rear, and not treated as a combat vehicle. The days of having a sofskin like an Iltis or an LSVW in forward service are long over.

The fuel pods did not meet transport Canada requirements. They were removed from the trucks along with the pumps, filter units, and the entire cargo box. Those items were sold off through CADC, and the cab and chassis were sent off to be built into tankers. This occurred around 2002.
