What colour was that again

Yes I had a look at the November instruction when the camo colours were changed again and this time it specifically states Khaki Green for medical vehicles:

"All mechanical vehicles are to be painted in disruptive camouflage, except A.A.M.C. vehicles which are to be painted Khaki Green with Geneva Crosses."

So I think my mind must be playing tricks on me Mike, because I recall Vehicle Dark Green as a general instruction, unrelated to any specific area or command. It's very annoying because it's stuck in my mind quite firmly!

Something else I've been meaning to ask is when was DBG introduced? I have 1949 in my head but I have no idea where it came from!
