Default 1940's paint

I have seen many CMP's in Australia with faded paint. After 60 years out in the weather the khaki colour has lost some of it's pigmentation leaving a yellowish chalky coat. Could it be that underframes and drive components were painted in a lesser quality paint than bodywork and have deteriorated sooner?
