That is the post 1942 colour but Lionel has the choice of it or the bronze coloured paint of pre 1942 as his truck is a 1940 model.

Below are two 1/35 scale models I made and painted using the paint formula worked out by Mike Cecil at the AWM. The Chev fuel tanker is painted PRE-1942 Service Green the CMP Ambulance is painted POST-1942 Service Green which is the colour your cans of paint are.
