Well it certainly looks like you have your work cut out for you if you wish to get it in running order. The best of luck to you and your team.
As it's property of the R 22e R Home Station are they putting any money towards the project? Or is it a private venture? Don't know why it would be grey unless it was some sort of special all-weather coating to survive the winters. When you finish the restoration perhaps you should consider keeping it on display indoors. Still a good looking machine. Cheers, Dan.

Universal Carrier
Is it grey or a very faded out green? Either way restoring it and then parking it back outside to be destroyed by the elements is throwing good money away. As Dan said, indoor display is the best.
Check with the R22eR museum, they should be best able to tell you how universal carriers were employed by an infantry battalion and provide you with appropriate markings.

Of course, if we restore it back in working condition, it won't stay outside... I'm already upset on how we are treating this vehicle and they know it.
The reason why I asked here is because I know I may find an answer quicker than using the museum's personnel. I will look at the archives but I also have a job to do. The work is not on a private manner. It is the Museum and the Citadelle Garrison that will take care of it. I really hope to be able to convince them to restore it properly... but it is not easy. The color is really grey... it was painted grey because they had some gallons left from another job. The BREN is literally consider like a flower pot by many so, it was not important to have the good color and markings. Since I arrived and explained them the importance of having displaying good information, they are more willing to do it correctly. Even our Sherman is in poor condition. This might change very soon.
