I was across the pond in the late '60s and the early '70s.
I can say that even in ONE branch of the service, that the radios and
vehicles varied in color. It was very apparent when all the equipment
was lined up very carefully for the big IG, (Inspector General's),
layout of all of this.
Which color of OD, (Olive Drab), was the standard? I still have no clue!
The different shades were very obvious. Then adding insult to injury
was the application of diesel fuel to all painted surfaces to make it
have a "sheen" for the "Dog and Pony" show.
