The colour you describe is what I would have thought to be correct Lynn. I can't explain the colour used on the film vehicles. Considering the trouble that they went to to get things right I figured there must have been a good reason for it. They even had a couple of genuine ex-Marines commanding the troops to make sure the way they dressed, behaved and carried their weapons was authentic. There were some slip ups though. Hollywood just can't get away from depicting soldiers festooning themselves with belts of MG ammunition when the very last thing you would want is to risk feeding mud and debris into the gun. I'm certain it would have remained in the can 'til the last second.
Are there any pictures of your WC55 on the forum Lynn?
