I have never seen one with Khaki paint on it, so I assume it was only installed in civilian use. Note that even today, the DND's vehicles in Canada are exempt from the requirements of the provincial governments with regards to safety inspections and requirements of the HTA. Many of the vehicles were not made to DOT standards either.

That sort of turn signal manifested itself in British civilian vehicles during at least the '50s.
They were called trafficators and I had them on my Morris Minor, Austin A40 and Hillman Minx.
ps...Rob, surely you don't allude to the MLVW in your last sentence!
