[MRCA] RCA CR-91a Paint Question

[ab3l1 at aol.com]

Hello,

I would like to know if there were any variants of the front panel 
paint color.

I have a Montreal built radio with the "tannish" looking paint. It is 
hacked up pretty good and I would like to do a blast, paint, and 
silkscreen.
I have an offer of doing a powder coat in a dark gray color similar to 
the Collins S-line front panels, but I would also would like to 
consider keeping it correct as to it's origin.

So, was this the only color used by them ?

Has anyone here come up with a good match for the tan color?
The tan color of a Viking or a Ranger looks close.

I don't know the history on these so possibly there were different 
colors for different Canadian Military divisions. The only one's that I 
have seen for sale on the E place were the tan color so that could be 
my answer.

I did try this question on the RCA list but didn't fare too well with 
reply's.

Thanks you,

Bob AB3L
