(Sea Stallion), VH-3D (Sea King), CH-46E's (Sea Knight [twin rotor])  and 
VH-60N (Sea Hawk).
Serials numbers for HMX-1 rotorcraft are:

The CH-53's and CH-46's are  mostly in the dark green scheme. There are 
exceptions, last time I was at  Quantico, one or two were grey, can't recall which 
though.
