Bubba in the CF

But as the folks say, what provenance to show that it is a genuine, as used by the CF paint scheme, somewhere, sometime for some reason, the exception that proves the rule.

The photo is the smoking gun. Love it.

I saw a photo recently which came out of Syria of a F250 in service with ISIS rebels. What made it particularly interesting was the fact that the name, number and address of the ex-plumbing outfit that previously owned it was still painted on the doors. (Texas, USA) I guess the ex owner was suing the dealership and questions have arisen as to how and why used American trucks were ending up in the conflict in Syria. Someone was buying them at auction in the USA and shipping them overseas...

Wouldn't the plate number provide some history?

When I was a contractor in KAF, the DND along with just about every other nation, would rent vehicles from a rental agency located right in KAF. Vehicles would range from the semi-luxourious to rolling scrap. One of the guys ran some of the serial numbers and sure enough, some were stolen out of the US.
