CDN M151 Colors

[David Dunlop]

Hello Ed.

When the M151’s first arrived here in Winnipeg at Kapyong Barracks, I recall them all lined up in a very odd, but interesting, light tan, rusty red and brownish cameo pattern with no roll cages. They sat there for quite a while until they all got reworked into the typical Canadian colours and were fitted with cages.

Would the original camo scheme been a short lived Canadian idea, or would these vehicles have been in a US paint scheme and drawn from available US Storage to fill the Canadian M151 order?
