One would tend to think that something like this would have been mentioned on the contract demand... hmmmm.

Great news, Chris! This is exactly the sort of source material we are looking for. I agree, if the colour was to be different from the standard OD, this should be mentioned on the contract. If it is not listed there, surely the CDLV jeeps were painted OD.

Could you share the contents of the original contract with us? Nowhere I can find the exact and complete details about CDLV jeeps. Some snippets here and there, it would be nice to compile a complete list of the specifications plus pictures here on MLU.

Thanks,
Hanno
