Info needed: correct colours for WWII Aust vehicles

[Mrs Vampire]

This one more accurately shows the difference between the Original KGJ from NOS 1942 unopened tin panel created 2016 and the standard plate created by Berger held by the AWM

I think that fairly comprehensibly shows the uselessness of the AWM plate-set for the purposes of a Standards reference.

I note in passing the photograph of the plates in the online search of the AWM collection shows the set in much better condition than they appear to be now.

Tony's comment re the plates being the authoritative standard noted however it is now apparent the only standard more accurate than the Melbourne Berger samples or a well stored copy of the Australian Standard is cans of original unopened paint stock.

The standards in my publication will be based on the Australian archives chips the Australian standards books I have access to and the cans of original paint I have been so kindly loaned.

The Canberra plates are the only known surviving set of original standards plates.
