Default Disruptive Camouflage painting

Hi there

At this point, the official disruptive painting scheme used by the British (and Canadian) armies was based on Military Training Pamphlet No.20, which called for 2-colours, a base and a darker shade used for the disruptive pattern. The pattern itself was to be horizontal-diagonal vs vertical. (see attached diagram). The paint jobs shown in the photos are not based on this.

I suggest they were applied to vehicles meant for public display by the manufacturers (to look 'warlike') as opposed to any office National Defense plan.
