    This is the truck that I drove in Germany, 1970. It is rather close to the color of the 24087 and many of the NOS parts that I have gotten are similar. I will agree that the 24087 is a little more brown, leaning toward the WWII color. The picture is a scan of an actual photograph that I took.

    24087 was tweaked in 1968 to be slightly more green and the number remained the same. So Don's colors look look like the pre and post 68 colors. But having said that, the same paint can look completely different under different lighting conditions.

    And don't forget that the two pictures that I posted are scans. In the slide, you can see that it is a little "bluer" might be Ektachrome.

    That does look like USMC or later USA color. In any event, it just looks good.
