My 43 HUP was originally khaki but the air force painted it blue. They just closed the doors and sprayed what you see when standing beside it. The interior, engine, undercarriage, etc stayed khaki.
My 43 Cletrac M2 was originally OD. The air force painted it yellow. The belly and the inside of the tracks stayed OD as did the engine compartment.
The roundels were painted on the upper surfaces for recognition purposes on most vehicles after the Luftwaffe was less of a probllem. This started near the end of the desert campaign and continued into Italy.
