 also learnt that Australian Army trucks had the back of the differential centre painted white for safety. Something I did not know. 
 
Safety yes,but the main reason was for one driver to follow the other in convoy at night during a black out.The white axle covers were fairly standard during WW 2.. 
Sometimes all that they could see was the white splotch in front of them..
