Some more recent discoveries.

I purchased Mike Starmers book that included a chip of deep Bronze Green No 24 and compared it with the base coat of Green on the Stuart.
The exercise confirms the Tank was exported from the Berwick plant painted British Deep Bronze Green 24 . The next coat up being Khaki J and a later disruptive coat of Light stone N.
I have an original pristine sample of the interior Off White that i will have spectrographed.
The interior of the fuel tank bays and under all of the top armor is Light Green etch primer. Looks very much like the etch primer colour I have seen on P-40 Ms and Ns ( earlier P-40 being a darker shade)
The engine mount is clearly Olive Drab 9 and compare well with the sample .
