Default International Aerodrome Control Car

Some types like this Aerodrome Control Car had a different paint scheme specified for later contracts (or were repainted during the course of their service).

This International Aerodrome Control Car was first painted airside yellow with a black roof to minimise glare for the air traffic controllers.

The next picture shows the same type of truck in a flat drab paint of some sort with white panels.
