Does anyone have access to or info regarding the proper camo scheme and colours as well as tac marks for mid 70's to early 80's Canadian MVs?
Specifically interested to know about mine as research has indicated a history with 1 Hussars, which is/was armd recce.... I did see a pic from their website which showed a M38A1 in service with gpmg mount, antenna mount and wire cutter. The only marking I could ascertain was the coloured CDN flag sticker on the rear bumperette. Was wondering if stencil cut black spray painted CDN flags were used or appropriate??? Please tell me about the dash mounted blue extinguisher and details of the antenna mount and appropriate items.

Ask and you shall receive:
  Here is a side view of my jeep showing the cam pattern.   The black stencilled cdn flag was often used. It was not by the book mind you. It was usually because nobody bothered to order the flags. As well, you ended up having to cam up any color decals when you went to the field, so the red flags would just add two more things you had to tend to. I tried to install the flags on my MLVW when I was with the artillery, but my MWO would not approve of it. The extinguisher was a 5 lb Ansul brand dry chem extinguisher. In the 70s you could find them in red or blue. By the 80s only the blue ones remained. There was a mod to switch the extinguisher's location with the SMG C1. A search on this forum should find you a copy...I believe Derk Derin posted it in the last year. Antenna mounts were on top of the spare tire carrier thru most of the 70s. By 1980, most were changed over to the corner mount. The top mount put a lot of stress on the back wall of the jeep. Prior to 1980, your militia Jeep would have had the C42, after that date they went to the 524 set. Once it made it to Borden, it likely had no radios.

If Rob Love is nice enough, he might post up some snaps of his 38A1, as its text book 3 Color Cam. Its going to be the basis for my Cam Pattern although i'm going to (admittedly wrong) invert the locations of the Light Green and Olive Drab on my 151 as most of the 151s ive seen seem to have more Light Green and less OD (if any OD at all). As for the flags, i've seen examples of both. I must admit, personally prefer the Color Decal. It typifies the era IMO. Besides, it will lessen people asking if my rig is American  The blacked out painted Flag is more of a current era marking. I managed to find the correct Decals on EBay, so I grabbed a pair for a princely sum of $4 shipped.

If you are ordering, then you will also want some of the 7690-21-102-0000
"DANGER Pressurized cooling system" decals. I am unsure if that will still be a valid number. I used to order them in back in the 90s.
