Default paint

hi Diana

I support Cliff's thoughts. It wasn't until post WW2 that the fleet colour schemes came into being e.g., RAAF blue/grey . And the army DBG . The history of Holden book , refering to 48-215 sedans , gives the RAAF fleet colour 1948-53, as Blue-grey paint.

The PMG is listed as Fawn , oddly.

The GMH colour movie , made in 1944, clearly shows CMP;s parked at Fishermens Bend , Melbourne, with the "RAAF" script on the cowl , the overall colour of the trucks is the WW2 green .
