Mark: On the one hand, none of your camouflage patterns are by the book. On the other hand, many soldiers did not seem to have access to the cam patterns either.

That's the first cam pattern LSVW I have ever seen. Kind of reflects back to the dark days when softskin was considered front line equipment. Hopefully we never sink to those levels again.

Default LSVW Camouflage

I don't think the LSVW fleet was ever painted in the three-colour camouflage as it was discontinued by the time they were delivered to the CF. I do have evidence of CF LSVWs in UN white and desert tan.

The closest I could find in my database was this image of a vehicle with a S250 Shelter.

The shelter would have either been transferred over from a 5/4 ton, or, judging by the NATO paint scheme, been a more recent purchase from US stocks. I don't recall ever seeing a gas 5/4 ton with the NATO paint scheme.

What would be the point of camouflaging an LSVW anyway? You would still hear it coming for a mile by the sound of the brakes.

Default LSVW Camouflage

For sure none of the Canadian LSVW fleet was never painted in the NATO camouflage and yes the shelter had just been delivered new. Here is an image of a new LSVW with its recently installed NATO camouflaged generator.

Ah yes, the distinctive squeaky LSVW breaks.
