Colours
Based on my February, 1944 HUW, I think you'd be correct in painting the exterior overall Olive Drab. I matched a sample and find it is 'a little greener and darker' than the standard US O.D.
If the interior was not the same as the exterior colour (HUP's were the same paint inside and out), then the interior colour was white, at least based on the HUW example. Is there any nooks and cranies that may still have original paint?
Some aluminium house type wireless bodies (2K1 on Chev 15cwts for example) sported a white upper and pale blue-green lower paint scheme on the inside. I can't say if this was original or post war though.
