Info needed: correct colours for WWII Aust vehicles

[Mike Cecil]

Hi Gina,

Add this to your 'mix' (no pun intended ... well maybe just a little) of information about the use of KG3 (whatever that shade of 'green' actually was after a week in the sun, rain, mud & dust ... hey, that last word-pairing looks like a good title for a book!!):

3MD VRD Instruction No.12 dated 21 February 1942, part 9 states :

(9) Upon receipt of completed vehicle, Workshop section to repaint in Khaki Green No.3 dull finish, Army number to be painted on centre rear & each side of bonnet in white 3.5 inch block numerals. (my bolding emphasis).
