Default 3 tone camouflage

Hello Folks

In my collection i just found another paint instruction dated 1970 which has the three colours:

1970 instructions:
1 - Olive Green 503-321, NSN 8010-21-870-7533
2 - Black 512-301, NSN 8010-21-576-1987
3 - An equal mixture of Slate and Olive Green.
This would make 3 the pea green. Strange they did not specify a particular colour as it is also known to have been provided already mixed from the paint providers.

1975 instructions were:
1 -Olive Green 503-321, NSN 8010-21-870-7533
2 - Black 512-301, NSN 8010-21-576-1987
3 - Green 503-319, NSN 8010-21-576-2558

Both showed the same paint pattern.
Black could be replaced by white for winter use.

So i guess either is correct depending on when the vehicle was painted or repainted.

Unfortunately i am unable to get any of these in flat.

A sample to Home Hardware can be scanned to match but it would be gloss, but still oil based. I know it can be flattened to some extent.

I will be dropping off these samples to Frank Von R. to match for the museums vehicles at some point in time.

Thanks
Eric
